But I'm sure you could write some (macro) code and use PRC METALIB.</P> <P>But I would be careful about deleting obejcts automatically. Especially if you have lineage to some extent (other objects that are reading those tables). And how can you be sure if an object is temporarily unavailable, or permanently deleted?</P> <P>If you have this requirement, why do you need tables registered in metadata at all? You could just bypass the matdata layer and let user see whatever is available in the data stores.</P> Wed, 14 Feb 2018 14:46:58 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Auto-register-new-data-set/m-p/437103#M13512 LinusH 2018-02-14T14:46:58Z
