Figure 11.3: Save Dataset Dialog Box

The following items are displayed:

Dataset Name holds the SAS dataset name to which you wish to save.

Browse... opens the standard SAS Save As dialog box, which enables you to find an existing dataset to overwrite.

Dataset Label holds a user-defined description to be saved as the label of the dataset.

OK saves the current data to the dataset specified in Data set Name. If the specified dataset does not already exist, clicking OK saves the dataset and returns you to the calling dialog box. If the specified dataset does already exist, clicking OK warns you and enables you to replace the old dataset with the new dataset or cancel the save attempt.

Cancel aborts the save process. Clicking Cancel returns you to the calling dialog box without attempting to save.
