Moving Data Between Libraries
If you would like to move a data set from one library to another, rather than copy it, you can use the MOVE option with either Proc DATASETS or Proc COPY.
First, lets build a simple data set (TABLE1) the WORK library:
data work.table1;
do i = 1 to 10;
output;
end;
run;
Now lets move TABLE1 into the SASUSER library with Proc DATASETS:
proc datasets lib=work;
copy out=sasuser move;
select table1;
quit;
One final example, lets move TABLE1 back into the WORK library, this time with Proc COPY:
proc copy in=sasuser out=work move;
select table1;
run;
