Finding a specific field in a Library

[Therob107]

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.

Thanks Jerry and Sandy.  This is exactly what I am looking for!  Have a great day.
