sas temp library doesn't need libref while others do ? -


i working on sas enterprise guide 7.12 sas base 9.4 running code :

data work.new;    input fname $ ;    datelines;    john    ; run;      data temp.x ;     set work.new; run;  

code running without errors there no errors although didn't submit libref temp library if change temp library name name error rise libref new lib , going on ?

sas provide number of libraries automatically @ start of session, locations of can seen running code below:

data _null_;   work=pathname('work');   temp=pathname('temp');   sasuser=pathname('sasuser');   put (_all_)(/=); run; 

the work library emptied when session ends, temp , sasuser libraries can retain data after session ended (albeit files in temp may periodically cleared, depending on local configuration). can store personal items there, warned - may angry administrator after if store :-)

also won't accessible else you.

further info on system libraries here, seem documentation on temp library scarce @ best.
