This can be especially useful when reassigning engines for a libref using the Macro Language. Here we want to write a Version 6 copy of the data set CLASS to the same location as the MYDATA library, however in order to issue a new LIBNAME statement we need to know the location of the MYDATA library. The PATHNAME function returns this location and the new libref (MYDAT6) can be created.
