Listing contents of a catalog in SCL

[Nieumysl]

Hi!

I'm looking for a way to get all entry/object/whatever names of a catalog into a list in SCL. I must stress that I'm new to SAS, so perhaps there is an obvious solution here that I'm not seeing... .

To be exact, my catalog (sas7bcat) contains SCL files/scripts, and i would like to have an SCL list containing all the names of the SCL scripts in that catalog.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks for any advise!

Using proc catalog?

Eguide  with the catalog browser added?

Using base/sas? 

You can brows/edit SCL in remote connections it is  also browsable. Just open is like a dataset library. No idea what your problem is.

Thanks for answer. I dont need to display the entries anywhere. What I need is a list containing all file names as a variable in a scl program. For example: 'file1.scl file2.scl file3.scl'

Base SAS(R) 9.3 Procedures Guide, Second Edition  (proc catalog)  google is your friend.
Remember it are no files it are members in a catalog. Having it as a SAS dataset  you can get it into a list.

thanks a lot Google is indeed a friend, provided you know what to look for - i was just looking for a way to do it in scl directly, and this hadn't occured to me. Like i said, I'm new ...

perhaps it can also be done with some functions. They must be there (open dir ) getting them one for one building the list. SAS(R) Component Language 9.2: Reference  (catlist) but all depends on what you are going to do. There is never just one solution.
