Save a Dataset
Purpose
In this module, you will learn how to create a permanent dataset in a SAS library. This will allow you to save the temporary dataset that you have been working with, as a permanent file on your computer so you can continue your analysis at a later time.
Task 1: Create a Permanent Dataset in a SAS Library
In the previous modules you worked with a temporary dataset that exists only as long as your SAS session. In this module you'll take that temporary dataset and save it as a permanent file in your SAS library which will be stored between SAS sessions.
