Hello Community,
Before I continue, excuse my non IT background. Just trying to break into clinical data field with some SAS

I have finished my base essentials part 1 (actually twice) and now wanted to reinforce the learnt objective. When I write a libname and pull a folder into library, I have this library as desired. However, when using datastep, the new data ends up in “webwork” library and not “work” library. I trying using “work.<filename> and still the file ends up in webwork. What is even worse is, when I run proc means on the same file and write data as work.<filename>, the code runs and I get a report. How can I get a report from work library file when I can technically see no file in the library.

I hope this is one of the common issues out there and im not crazy.

Thanks In Advance, god bless!

Hello and welcome to the community!
There are options that can alter the behaviour around the work lib ... To quickly nail your problem it would be helpful if you posted some explanatory code snippets (perhaps a data step and a proc mean) and your LOG output.
And then: Where are you running your code? Is it the "SAS on Demand (for academics)" platform or do you run your own platform?

And finally, here is a link to some blog entry explaining the webwork usage ... maybe this does help: https://blogs.sas.com/content/sgf/2016/12/12/sas-studio-webwork-library-demystified/
