This will get descriptions of the tables that contain the data you want:
proc sql; describe table dictionary.tables ; describe table dictionary.columns ; quit;
You'll have to describe the "dynamic" part as I don't see any.
Use Proc Sql to join the two dictionary tables on Libname and memname, request the other information you want and perhaps subset to the libname and/or data sets you want (is this the "dynamic" part?);
