LIBNAME (libref, <,SAS-data-library <,engine <,options>>>)

libref: specifies the libref to assign to a SAS data library.
SAS-data-library: specifies the SAS data library.

Details

If no value is provided for SAS-data-library or if SAS-data-library has a value of '' (with no blank space), LIBNAME dissociates the libref from the data library. If the operation is successful, the return value is zero.

Under TSO, DDnames (assigned by the TSO ALLOCATE command) can also be used to refer to SAS data libraries.

Example

rc=libname('v7dat','myapp.demo.v7dat', 'v7');
