Im a beginner for Base SAS. 

a. Manally 

Its shows "Name, Engine, Path & Options". Don't have any clue, what to do with that. 

As well as i don't know the default library path.... 😞 

b. Through SAS Code.

%let path = your_path_goes_here;
      libname mylib "&path"

Just started learning Base SAS, i think, its "Macro". I'm not yet started to learn Macro. But, thanks.

Can you give me some simple example with "Libname Statement" or any other way to do the same. 

2. Create Formats using Proc Format  & How to view the existing formats. 

How i will save it in library & view the format using "fmtlib"

Example:

proc format ;

value $response 

'Y'='Yes'

'N'='No'

run;

Please help me out. 😞

Do you know what a SAS Library is? 

[ImPrem]

Yes.

SAS files are stored in SAS library. 

In simple way:

SAS Library- Folder

SAS Files (SAS Data Set) - Files

Please correct me, if i'm wrong! 

Thanks!!

So when setting up library all you need is the path. The libname statement from @PeterClemmensen should be enough of a hint.

Otheriwse, see the YouTube videos on 

support.sas.com/training/tutorial

They have videos for all of your questions above.
