Xiao ,

Substitute your path for mine and look at the output:

LibName Test "/export/home/dunnt" ;

Proc SQL ; Create Table Libnames AS Select Distinct LibName , Path From Dictionary.Libnames Where LibName = 'TEST' ; Quit ;

Proc Print Data = LibNames ; Run ;

Hi, there -

One simple question bothering you guys.

Is there any way for me to check value of a certain libname or file name variable?

For example,

I have statement like "libname user 'c:\tmp\'; my questions come as

(1) how can I know the "user" has been assigned a value or not

(2) if I did have above statement, later on how can I know what value of "user" is in code.

Thanks for bearing my stupid.

Steven
