Libname file gone

[superbibi]

I succeeded created a file in “my libraries’” using libname statement, but the file disappeared after I logged off SAS studio?

The file did not disapear.

Recreate your libname statment and save it as a program;

Run it firstly after initiating SAS. You will find the file in the library.

Thank you Shmuel. I know the file is still in "my file". But it is not in "my libraries". Do you mean I have to run the libname statment each time I open SAS to let the file in "my libaries"? Does it mean all the files created in "my libraries" is not permanent stored in "my libraries"?

Yes, or you can add them to your autoexec to have them set up whenever you initialize SAS.  You can access the autoexec from the menu at the top right hand corner.

No, the files are still there even if the libname isn't. A libname is a pointer to a directory (or file) and the directory still exists.
