I have tested that the following code successfully copies the physical table "Employee" from Lib1 to Lib2. However, I need to edit the code so that it copies all the physical tables in that location, but not the folders. How can I accomplish this?
proc copy in = Lib1 out= Lib2 index=yes constraint=yes;
select Employee;
quit;
Thanks for your time. ![]()
Do you mean Metadata folders?
Proc Copy is not aware of metadata folder structure, it just copies physical tables.
Just omit the select statement.
PROC COPY is a subset of PROC DATASETS. Here the code using PROC DATASETS
proc datasets nolist nowarn;
copy in=Lib1 out=Lib2
clone
datecopy
force
index=yes
constraint=yes
memtype=(data)
;
run;
quit;
