I am using the following code to create a dataset of the file names for all SAS datasets within a specified folder (I then trim part of the filename in the second step).  I want to add a second field, one that includes the number of observations in each of the named datasets.  Thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

 

proc sql;
CREATE TABLE CULL AS
select catx('.',libname,memname) into :setnames separated by ' '
from dictionary.tables
where libname = 'RESULTS';
quit;

DATA Cull ;
SET CULL;
_TEMA001=tranwrd(_TEMA001,"RESULTS.TARGETS_","");
RUN;
