Hello.

 

I am looking for a way to list library properties. If I right click on a library and select properties I can see the properties, i.e., Type, Description, Server, Engine Location, Options, Libref, Read Only and Temporary. I'm looking for a way to simply list all properties of a library. 

 

I don't have any example code as I can't find any place to start.

 

If someone could point me in a potential direction that would be very helpful.

 

Thank you.

You can get lots of details from the DICTIONARY tables, easily accessed via SASHELP.VLIBNAM.

 

proc sql;
 create table details as select * from sashelp.vlibnam;
quit;

I did look there but the variables it listed were incomplete. For instance, I can see an options variable in the properties but it doesn't show up in when I look in vlibnam.

You will get similar details from:

libname _all_ list;

Some libname engines with special suboptions (for databases, for example) might not be "findable" through these methods.
