SAS library deleted on restart

sgupta — Thu, 03 Mar 2016 22:21:05 GMT

Everytime I start SAS I have to again run below command to generate SAS library mysassg.?

libname mysassg "U:\SAS\SAS_data";
run;

Can I permanetly create it?

Yes, but you have to either do it through the point and click, and click the enable at start up button

Modify your autoexec file to include the library reference. Depending on your environment it may be locked down.

There are a couple of options depending on your set up. If this is base SAS you could either create an Autoexec.SAS program file and have the configuration file point to that. Any code in the autoexec executes when SAS starts.

Another approach is to use the Tools>New Library wizard, enter the path and name information and check the box "enable at startup".
