I know I can use Library Wizard to create library and tick on 'Enable at start up' option to make the library permenant.

But how do I do it with LIBNAME statement?

libname mydata 'C:\Libraries\Documents';

/*this creates a reference to the documents folder*/

data mydata.one;

set two;

run;

/*this will create a permanent data set named one into the destination determined by the libname statement.*/

Yes, it sure does make permanent dataset BUT it does not make permanent library. mydata, the library, will disappear if I quit SAS session and rerun it.

So only way is to use library wizard. No options available in LIBNAME statement to do the same thing?

I do what Linlin posted.  If you're running SAS 9.3 the directory is a little different:  C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.3

I think it's just a manual way of doing what library wizard with 'enable at start up' option does .

This is how I make "permanent" library:

libname mydata 'C:\Libraries\Documents';

save the sas code as "autoexec.sas" in directory

"C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2"

Lin, using similar methods you mentioned can I make the Notepad to have the first line look like;

----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+

So that if I open a text file with some data with Notepad, the first line will look like above, and whatever is contained in the text file will start from the second line?

Somehow I think you've got your threads mixed up.  However, in answer to your question, just use Wordpad rather than Notepad and make courier or new courier the default font.  Wordpad has a built-in ruler.
