Hello everyone,

I'm using sas 9.4 and I'm trying to save existing dataset after modifying it for future processing.

Now i can see only the results of the modified dataset, but I don't know how to specify location to the out file.

 

 

libname A 'fileLocation';
data a; 
set A.fileName;
if z=. then z=0;
output;

 

Thanks,

Matan.

You want to use a two-level data set name, where the first level is the library name (LIBNAME) and the second level is the actual data set name.

 

For example,

 

data a.newdata;

Also, don't forget the run; command at the end of your data step.

I didn't think it was that simple.
