create a new library

Ronein — Thu, 09 May 2024 08:40:14 GMT

Hello

I would like to create a new library called PanelOsh .

The following code is not creating the library folder

libname AAA  '/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Credit_Scoring_Users/PanelOsh';

What is the way to create the library folder?

When I click right click on library then I dont see option to create a new folder (The library name)

I found the solution!~

options dlcreatedir;
libname PanelOsh "/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Credit_Scoring_Users/";

Is it necessary to write options dlcreatedir?? Why?>

With system option DLCREATEDIR set, the directory will be created when the LIBNAME statement is issued. You must, of course, have the necessary permissions in the filesystem.

Maxim 1: Read the Documentation.

On Windows and UNIX, the default is NODLCREATEDIR.
