Hi, I have a sas data set file which is pola_201707 which is save it with my previous sas program , now I want to read it in a new sas program and then get copy the same whole sas data set but with another name which is pcy_201707 and save it as another library name pcy2017

Both have the same data but just the name and the library name is different. How can I do with this?

Below is my code to read my previous saved sas data set pola_clm_mth_201707.

libname pl "C:\Data\DBF";

data pl.pola_201707;

set pl.pola_201707;

run;

You need to use the libname-statment for each library you want to use. Then use something like

data pcy2017.pcy_201707;
  set pl.pola_201707;
run;

if the dataset is small. For larger datasets using proc datasets with copy + change is recommended, see docs for examples.
