To print obs from a library of all datasets

[umashankersaini]

Hi,

Kindly let me know how to print selected observaions (for example top 5 observations from each dataset) from all the datasets of a library.

[data_null__]

1. make a list of memnames (type=data maybe)
2. for each memname run proc print data=libname.memname(obs=5)
3. add a title so you know which data set you are looking at

For number 1 use PROC DATASETS

For number 2 use call execute driven by a data set created by 1

You can use call execute for number 3 too.
