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

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.
Does it mean all the files created in "my libraries" is not permanent stored in "my libraries"?
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.
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"?

Thank you.
Good news: We've extended SAS Hackathon registration until Sept. 12, so you still have time to be part of our biggest event yet – our five-year anniversary!
What’s the difference between SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Studio? How are they similar? Just ask SAS’ Danny Modlin.
