Hello all,

I hope everyone's day is going great. I have a question regarding libraries. I am trying to find a particular field name that provides the data I need within a data set. The issue is I have no idea what data set the information is stored on.  Is there any SAS features or code I can use to find it?  Many thanks.

Sincerely,

Rob

Look in SASHELP.VCOLUMN.

It will show all columns in all data sets in currently assigned libraries.
