I have a library wherein each dataset is annotated with formats and labels.  I want to create a data dictionary that goes beyond what is available in PROC CONTENTS.  Minimally, I need to include not just the name of each format associated with the variable, but to display the values for each.

 

Is this easily done?  Are there any available macros to do this?
