how to set options to create a dataset with same name but not replace original one

[Mike_Davis]

Hello everyone,

Is there any SAS options for us so when we create a new dataset has same name with other dataset but the new dataset doens't override the old one? maybe automaticly change the new dataset's name.

Thanks

Hi,

I think generation data sets could be helfpul to you (GENMAX= option).

See e.g.:
