To get the number of observations in multiple tables just use PROC CONTENTS or DICTIONARY.TABLES.

proc sql noprint ;

  create table counts as

     select memname,nlobs

     from dictionary.tables

     where libname = 'NACO'

        and upcase(memname) like 'NACO_%'

     order by 1

;

quit;

I am trying to get record count form updated datasets using naming convention financial_account_YYYYMM that range from 201212 back to 200706. The datasets are stored in the following path: '/sas/data/dds_test/

The below code is not working for me and I am new to do loops> any help would be appreciated...

LIBNAME DDSTEST '/sas/data/dds_test/

proc sql;
  create table rl_668_SUM
  (
    MNTH num,
    CNT num
  );
quit;

data _null_;
  do i=200706 to 201212;
    call execute('proc sql;
                              insert into  rl_668_SUM

                         set MNTH='||strip(put(i,best.))||',

                               CNT = (select count(1) from DDSTEST.Financial_account_'||strip(put(I,best.)||');

                             
                                                              quit;');
    end;
run;
