To copy the entire template store, use the COPY procedure. To copy individual templates, use the TEMPLATE procedure. There are a couple of ways to do this.

• Use the ODS PATH statement to set the path of the template store that you want to write to. The EDIT statement makes an exact copy with the same name and stores it in the Work.Templ template store.
     

ods path work.templ(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read);
   proc template;
      edit styles.default;
   end;
   run;

• Use the STORE= option in Version 8 to specify the template store that you want to save the definition to. If the template store does not exist, then it is created.
   

 proc template;
      define style styles.test / store=work.templ;
         parent=styles.default;
   end;
   run;

   proc template;
      link styles.test to styles.default / store=work.templ;
   quit;
