The data is in the BASE table. If you want it in a library, assign it to a library or use PROC COPY/DATASETS to move it.

Proc datasets lib=work;

copy in=work out=myLib;

select app;

Run;quit;

Proc append always saves the output(base dataset) in either work library or if you have used any library reference then it will save the append output. Do you want it to be save it separately which really amkes little sense,you can use copy the dataset using

proc dataset.

Also use can use ods statements to save the output of sas procedures in a dataset.
