Review the concept of SAS data libraries. Review the LIBNAME statement. Review creating a new SAS data set from
an existing data set. Review conditional processing.

SAS Data LibrariesSAS Data Libraries
A SAS data library is a collection of SAS files that are recognized as a unit by SAS on your operating environment.
WORK - temporary library
SASUSER - permanent library
You can create and access your own permanent libraries.

SAS Data LibrariesSAS Data Libraries
The physical structure of a SAS data library depends on your operating system.
Directory-based operating systems (Windows or UNIX)any folder or sub-directory
OS/390 systemsspecially formatted sequential file

The LIBNAME StatementThe LIBNAME Statement
The LIBNAME statement establishes the library reference (or libref), which is an alias for the SAS data library.
General form of the LIBNAME statement:
LIBNAME libref 'SAS-data-library' <options>;LIBNAME libref 'SAS-data-library' <options>;
The libref must be 8 characters or fewer.
![Page 7: Sas Library Dataset Creation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55cf995b550346d0339cf652/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The LIBNAME Statement: ExamplesThe LIBNAME Statement: Examples
OS/390 Batch and TSOlibname prog2 'edu.prog2.sasdata' disp=shr;
Windows, DOS, and OS/2libname prog2 'c:\prog2';
UNIXlibname prog2 '/user/prog2';

The WORK LibraryThe WORK Library
The WORK library is the default library. If you do not specify a library reference on a SAS data set name, SAS assumes the libref is work.

Accessing a Permanent SAS Data SetAccessing a Permanent SAS Data SetThere are two steps when accessing a
permanent SAS dataset:
Use a LIBNAME statement to set up a libref that points to the location of the data set.
Reference the data set using the libref as the first part of the data set name.
If the libref has already been assigned in the SAS session,
you do not need to assign it again.

Creating a Permanent SAS Data SetCreating a Permanent SAS Data SetThere are two steps when creating a
permanent SAS data set:
If the libref has already been assigned in the SAS session, you do not need to assign it again.
1. Use a LIBNAME statement to set up a libref that points to the location you want to save to.
2. Use the libref as the first level of the SAS data set name.

The scores from a final exam are stored in the SAS data set prog2.test. The professor needs to assign each student a passing grade if the score is 0.7 or above and a failing grade otherwise. The variable Score should not appear in the output data set.

The SET StatementThe SET Statement
Use a SET statement to read a SAS data set.
General form of a SET statement:
The SET statement points to the SAS data set(s) to be read. Options in the SET statement affect how the data is read.
SET SAS-data-set <options>;SET SAS-data-set <options>;
![Page 24: Sas Library Dataset Creation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55cf995b550346d0339cf652/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
IF-THEN ELSE StatementsIF-THEN ELSE Statements
One method used to assign values or execute statements conditionally is IF-THEN ELSE statements.
IF condition THEN statement; <ELSE IF condition THEN statement;> … <ELSE statement;>
IF condition THEN statement; <ELSE IF condition THEN statement;> … <ELSE statement;>
![Page 25: Sas Library Dataset Creation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55cf995b550346d0339cf652/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The LENGTH StatementThe LENGTH Statement
When creating character variables with conditional logic or functions, it is usually a good idea to assign the lengths explicitly using a LENGTH statement.
General form of a LENGTH statement:
LENGTH variable-name <$> length-specification ...;LENGTH variable-name <$> length-specification ...;
![Page 26: Sas Library Dataset Creation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55cf995b550346d0339cf652/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The DROP StatementThe DROP Statement
To drop variables that are read or created during the DATA step, use a DROP statement.
General form of a DROP statement:
Variables dropped with a DROP statement are read into the PDV but are not output to the new SAS data set. They are available for processing during the DATA step.
DROP SAS-variable(s);DROP SAS-variable(s);
