You assign a permanent
libref only in the windowing environment by using the
New Library window and by selecting the
Enable at startup check box. SAS stores the permanent
libref in the SAS registry. To open the
New Library window, right-mouse click
Libraries in
the
Explorer window and select
New . Alternatively, type DMLIBASSIGN in the command
box.
In the windowing environment,
SAS automatically assigns permanent librefs when SAS starts because
STARTLIB is the default.
In all other execution
modes (batch, interactive line, and noninteractive), SAS assigns permanent
librefs only when you start SAS with the STARTLIB option specified
either on the command line or in the configuration file.
