The information you see is already stored for you in the SAS dictionary tables.

SASHELP.VTABLE has the information about each data set in a Library.

hi Paige,

Thanks for your reply. But I am not looking for tables info. I am interested in the directory structure. example: physical name, access permission, owner, etc. of the library

Then that's in SASHELP.VLIBNAM
