I have a question about the sample sas certification. At the beginning when saving the files for the program, you get one of this comment:

 

"At any time, you may save your program as program04 in C:\cert\programs."

 

Can someone explain what this means and how to do it maybe using an example. I am confused if I am required to use a libname to create a file path or how will I be saving my program into the empty program file present in the folder.

Note: if you have practiced the sas certification sample questions, you will understand my question.

It depends on the interface you're using (EG vs Studio) and it tells you where to save your program. You open the Save As, navigate to the indicated folder and save your file.

Is there something beyond that you're asking about?

This seems to have nothing to do with libnames and just tells you how to save your program so you don't accidentally lose work if the system refreshes (SAS Studio can do this) or if EG disconnects.

@Reeza  For my certification practices, I uses SAS windows interface.

 

Thanks, I understood what you mean and I just practiced it using windows interface.
