proc univariate data=water normal;
var mortal hardness;
histogram mortal hardness /normal;
probplot mortal hardness;
run;

I need to save the data permanently from my Work library in the file SAS in the C drive.

What changes do i need to make in code?

Kind Regards ,

First make a directory on c e.g. mysasdata. Then, you will need to write a libname statement and then use a two level name for the dataset.

libname c 'c:\mysasdata';

data c.water;
infile ....

The sas dataset water will be stored in c:\mysasdata
