You can assign more than one libref to the same SAS data library. Any assigned libref may be used to access the data library. In fact, you can use the librefs interchangeably.
For example, suppose that in two different programs you used different librefs for the same SAS data library. Later you develop a new program from parts of the two old programs, or you include two different programs with the %INCLUDE statement. In the new program, you could simply assign the two original librefs to the library and proceed.
