Why does my library disappear after signing out from SAS Studio?

Hi I am doing SAS Programming 1 course, currently on learning how to create library with LIBNAME.

I ran the following code and it generated a pg1 library under "My Libraries" as shown

libname pg1 "/home/u62043935/EPG1V2/data";
run;

However, when I sign out of SAS Studio and sign back in, pg1 library disappears and I have to ran the code every time I sign in.

Is there a way to make the pg1 library permanent in SAS Studio?

thanks

That is default and expected behaviour.

If you create the library via the GUI you can check the box to "Persist this library beyond the current session". Or you can copy your library code and put it in your AutoExec file so that it runs every time you start SAS.

Instructions are here:

Yes click the SAS Studio User Interface link on this linked page to see step by step instructions.

How do I create my own SAS library?
