Explanation

The Data step A does not create a permanent data set. The creation of a permanent data set requires the use of PROC or DATA steps with appropriate options to specify the permanent location and format of the data set. In this case, since the question does not mention any PROC or DATA step options related to creating a permanent data set, it can be concluded that the statement is false.
