-
STARTLIB
-
specifies that when SAS starts, SAS assigns
user-defined permanent librefs. STARTLIB is the default for the windowing
environment.
-
NOSTARTLIB
-
specifies that SAS is not to assign user-defined
permanent librefs when SAS starts. NOSTARTLIB is the default for batch mode,
interactive line mode, and noninteractive mode.
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.
