What does PROC CONTENTS provide?
a) Shows the contents of a SAS data set and prints the directory of the SAS library.
b) Shows the contents of a SAS data set and manage libraries.
c) Shows the data portion of a SAS data set.
Options:
a
b
c
All of the above
The answer is Option (a).
Yeah. I vote for A either.
I'd say none of the above.
To show the contents of a dataset, I'd need to do a proc print or proc sql select *.
proc contents reveals information about the metadata of a SAS dataset (and can produce a directory listing)
The question should be rephrased if meant for an international audience.
@Kurt_Bremser agreed. And what does "...prints the directory of the SAS library" even mean? Sounds more like they try to describe PROC DATASETS.
