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. Smiley Happy

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;
