Understanding Item Stores and Template Stores

A template store is an item store that stores items that were created by the TEMPLATE

procedure. Items that SAS provides are in the item store Sashelp.Tmplmst. Compiled

templates are stored physically in the Sasuser.Templat item store by default. However,

you can store items that you create in any template store where you have Write access.

A template store can contain multiple levels known as directories. When you specify a

template store in the ODS PATH statement, however, you specify a two-level name. The

two-level name includes a libref and the name of a template store in the SAS library that

the libref references.

When using a locale that is different from the default locale, or using a product that has

templates stored outside of Sashelp.Tmplmst, the template store for the locale and

product are automatically inserted into the ODS path when needed. Since these extra

template stores are variants or extensions to Sashelp.Tmplmst, they are inserted just

before Sashelp.Tmplmst in the current ODS path. For example, if the Japanese locale is

selected, the default ODS path would be Sasuser.Templat(update)
