Output result of PROC TEMPLATE LIST to table

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to wrap the following procedure:

proc template;
	list barscatter;
run;

within an ODS statement so that the list of found templates get output to a table.

The goal is to use the output in a macro so I can check whether specific templates are initialized or not.

Thanks!

Yes, you can use ODS TRACE ON to determine the data path that backs each output you see in the Results window. In this case, it's Template.Stats.

Then use ODS OUTPUT to save that output to a data set.

ods trace on;
ods output template.stats=templist;
proc template;
	list Styles.HTMLBlue;
run;
