USER=library-specification

library-specification

can be a libref, an OpenVMS logical name, or a pathname to the directory or subdirectory level. Do not use a specific filename.


Details

If the USER= system option is specified, you can use one-level names to reference permanent SAS files in SAS statements. However, if USER=WORK is specified, SAS assumes that files referenced with one-level names refer to temporary work files.
