Hi All, I do understand that when we run a query in SAS all the temporary tables created under the work library are deleted automatically once the code/session ends, but I wanted to know how does it get deleted? I mean, what function runs in the backend which does this activity, and how it is called, as we don't write any such function in our code. On similar lines, we do understand a .lck file is created when the job is executing and if the code completes the .lck file is renamed from sas7bdat.lck to sas7bdat, or if failure the .lck file is deleted. So, my question is how does SAS perform these kinds of activities? And how are the functions called automatically when we don't write any such query in SAS code.
