How to know the list of code/macros files been included/referenced in the sas code?

Can we have a sas code to get the list of files that sas code is referring to while executing. For Eg: the macros it is referring or the files that has been included in the sas code through out the flow.

Here's a starting point for you. This data step reads a SAS dataset file, finds macro calls and %INCLUDE statements, and creates a dataset that includes the program name and the macros calls.

%let myProgram=C:\temp\test.txt;
data calls;
   infile "%superq(myProgram)" end=lastrec;
   length Program $256 MacroName $32;
   retain rxID;
   retain Program "%qscan(%superq(myProgram),-1,\/)";
   drop rxID count;
   if _n_=1 then do;
      rxID=prxparse('/(%(?!(macro|mend))\s*\w*)/i');
   end;
   input;
   if prxmatch(rxID,_infile_) then do;
      MacroName=prxposn(rxID,1,_infile_);
      output;
      count+1;
   end;
   if lastrec and count=0 then do;
      put 'NOTE- ************************************************';
      put 'NOTE: No macro calls or %INCLUDEs in program ' program ;
      put 'NOTE- ************************************************' ;
   end;
run;
proc sql;
select distinct program, macroName 
   from calls
;
quit;

Here are a couple of test "programs" to play with. Save them as test.sas and test2.sas

/* test.sas */
%macro include;
%mend myMacro;
%myMacro
%include "c:\temp";
%include fileref;
print "This is a %test";

/*test2.sas */
macro include;
mend myMacro;
myMacrol
include "c:\temp";
include fileref;
print "This is a test";

When executed against test.sas, this is the result:

Program	MacroName
test.sas	%include
test.sas	%myMacro
test.sas	%test

May the SAS be with you!
