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.
