libname question

Hi all,
I imported a dataset into SAS using SAS import wizard, I created libname for this table.
The table name was BBB_2022 in my local version. But SAS gave _0000 at the end of the table name when I wanted to use the table name.
What is the reason SAS added _0000 as a suffix?

From which source did you import the data?

If you used some point and click tool to import the data you probably need to explain what you pointed at and what you clicked on. First step is to clarify what interface you are using (SAS/Studio? Enterprise Guide? something else?). Then explain what source of file you are importing. Was it a spreadsheet? A text file? Something else?

If the wizard generated code then look at the code it generated and the SAS log from when it ran the code.
