library-specification
-
specifies the default libref, an environment
variable, or Windows pathname in which to store data sets that are created
during a SAS session. Remember that a pathname is only to the directory or
subdirectory level. The value of library-specification
must resolve to a valid Windows pathname.
When you specify the USER system option,
any data set that you create with a one-level name will be permanently stored
in the specified library. If you want to create a temporary data set, use
a two-level name for the data set, with the first part being Work (for example, work.tempdata
).
