Summary
This guide explains how to use the PROC DATASETS statement to copy, move, select, and erase datasets. It explains the basic differences between copying and moving datasets, as copying will result in two copies of the datasets, while moving the dataset to a new location and erasing the original one. Finally, it provides a demonstration of how to use the MOVE option with COPY statements to move the dataset to a new location.
