Use below Contents procedure to get Column Names, Datatype, Size etc from SAS file by giving library name.
Repeat this or write a macro to get all the librarie's SAS files info and collate to one single SAS file.
proc contents data=&inlib..&indata out=contdata;
run;
Export sas dataset contdata to an excel file using proc export.
