STARTLIB | NOSTARTLIB

Syntax Description

STARTLIB: causes library references (librefs) specified in a previous SAS session to persist in a new SAS session. This option only affects librefs that were assigned in the New Library window and selected in that window to be enabled at startup.
NOSTARTLIB: does not autoassign librefs at startup. This option only affects librefs that were assigned in the New Library window and selected in that window to be enabled at startup.

Details

You must set this option by using the New Library window. Enter the name of your libref and select the checkbox labeled Enable at startup to save your librefs. The only way to create librefs that can be autoassigned is through this window. The STARTLIB system option controls whether or not the librefs assigned in this window are assigned at startup.
