Is there a way to see the variable names of a dataset in SAS and also the count of values repeated ?

Hello all,

Is there a way to see the variable names of a dataset in SAS and also the count of values repeated in a variable in a sas dataset?

PROC CONTENTS shows all variables, and PROC FREQ shows value distributions.

Hi,

in order to see a list of variable names of a dataset I would suggest to use the PROC CONTENTS. This procedure provides a lot of information related to a table and shows also the list of variables (and variable properties)

in order to obtain the count of values for a column I would suggest to use the PROC FREQ.This procedure creates a report with frequency counts and can be used for both numeric and character variables,

Best regards
