I'm trying to view a list of all dataset names in a library called SAPEng that begin with /BIC/ (the datasets were created in SAP).

Any ideas?

Thank you.

You should be able to use SQL and the sas dictionary tables to get what you want.

Proc sql;

     select *

     from sashelp.vmember

     where libname = "SAPEng " and memname like "BIC%"

  ;

quit;

See if that helps.

Look at querying sashelp.vtable or dictionary.table

OR

Proc contents

OR

Proc datasets

Note that the value of LIBNAME will always be in uppercase in the dictionary tables.  So you would need

libname = "SAPENG"
