Is it possible to change the output table location generated by a program?

ralizadeh — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 22:38:22 GMT

I generated the M03_Step1 table below using the M03_Step1 program. I want to alter the position of the library within the code, but I don't want to run the program again because it will take some time to complete. Is it feasible to move that table from the current library to another location (new library), assign the new library to this project, and somehow relink this table? Essentially, I want this table to be loaded from the new library location rather than where it was originally stored.

It doesn't appear like I can accomplish this, but I wanted to ask anyhow. Perhaps someone knows a trick?

You can try copy and paste in the server menu on the left. Then you can modify your code to write to the new library for future submissions

You could either change the program producing it (and rerun it) ... or as @JOL has indicated copy the dataset.

Idea behind EG's behaviour is to visually indicate the data that were produced ... hence changing it via properties does not make sense.

add this code in new program block:

libname Lib "/the/location/you/want/the/data";

data lib.M03_Step1;
  set sasuser.M03_Step1;
run;
