Hi all,
I created a library and I add some datasets.
I want to check number of datasets in the created library and
Which one added recently (if it is possible)
Thanks in advance

You can check the sashelp.vtable data set or run the following code to get a report.

 

proc datasets lib=sashelp;
run;

you can use dictionary.tables as suggested by @Reeza. crdate is create date. use your libname instead of sashelp

 

proc sql;
select memname, crdate from dictionary.tables
where upcase(libname) ='SASHELP'
order by crdate desc;
