Assignment of Library using another library

[RahulG]

I have a preassigned library Lib1.  

Libname Lib1 "C:\MyDevWork\folder\";

In the code, library Lib2 being used a lot. Lib2 is same as Lib1, One way of creating Lib2 is use the path of Lib1 in libname statement. 

I want to know -"Is there any way I can create Libname for Lib2 using Lib1 without worrying the path of Lib1?" 

[LinusH]

Just use the libref, instead of the path:

Have you tried inserting parentheses around (lib1)  

[Kurt_Bremser]

You could also try

libname lib2 "%sysfunc(pathname(lib1))";

You want Example 2 in the link provided. 

Libname lib2 (lib1);
