Hi everyone.

 

Can I please ask how can I delete and keep only certain data from a libref? 

Let say there are 26 data i.e work.a, work.b,work.c,....,work.z and I only wanna keep work.f and/or work.h and delete the rest. 

 

Thank you very much.

Look at proc datasets, it allows you to delete datasets. 

 

There's an example in the documentation that exactly illustrates your issue.
