Add the library name in the Output Data tab to differentiate data sets from the same name in different libraries (like WORK versus a permanent one).

Thank you for the suggestion - this is under consideration for a future release of SAS Enterprise Guide

I agree, this is a great idea and is something that has been missing from SAS Enterprise Guide for ever.

 

I quite often have two or more datasets with the same member names open in the same session, i.e. one in the WORK library, one in the FY2018 library and one in the FY2017 library.

 

Having the Libref as well as the Member name visible in the drop down list showing open items, as well as the Project Tree, would make life a whole lot easier for me. Without this Libref information I am reduced to visiting each member in the Data Grid, and viewing it's Properties, that slows me down and is just a distraction.

 

Cheers,
