check if a table is loaded into memory - CAS

dcortell — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 17:07:28 GMT

Hi Experts

I wanted to check with you if there is a way to control if a table is loaded in memory in a cas lib.

I expect that If I run something like:

%if %sysfunc(exist(gms.topic_scoring_prod)) %then %do;

in a macro program, I could still get positive results, as the table is indeed stored in the library BUT not loaded into memory.

So maybe exists something similar to control for loading of the table?

Thanks

For checking whether table is loaded (in-memory) ...

Not like this:

but like this :

SAS® 9.4 and SAS® Viya® 3.5 Programming Documentation | SAS 9.4 / Viya 3.5
Tables Action Set
tableExists Action
Checks whether a table has been loaded.
