Hi All,
I have a question,in a library i have few datasets like abc12,abc13,abc14,abc15. need to find dynamically whether that dataset is available in that library or not, if it is available then need to create a macro..
suppose i am checking in that library with respective number 15, then need to create a macro macro=abc15
Thank you

verifies the existence of a data set. If the data set does not exist, then the
example displays a message in the log:
%let dsname=sasuser.houses;
%macro opends(name);
%if %sysfunc(exist(&name)) %then
%let dsid=%sysfunc(open(&name,i));
%else %put Data set &name does not exist.;
%mend opends;
%opends(&dsname);
Thank you ballardw, exactly that is what i am lookign for
Thanks
Sam
