libname

I'm seen people use the following mehtod for a libname:

libname a '.';

What's the reason for doing this?

Thanks!

On both UNIX and WINDOW the use of a single period as a filepath means to use the CURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY.

I usually use HERE as the libref (instead of the A in your example) to make it clearer.

libname here '.';
