What tool to use will depend on what type of catalog entries you have.

Are they SAS formats?  Then use the FMTLIB option on the PROC FORMAT satement.

I can only see the columns as names , type,date created, date modified as the result of contents .But how about if I need to see further in each catalog?

Show us the Types of entries.

Many of the catalog entries cannot be "read". Sometimes the contents or use can be displayed but the approach depends on the type.

So what types of objects are in this catalogs?

Why not ask SAS?

proc freq data=sashelp.vcatalg order=freq ;
  tables memtype objtype;
run;

Add a WHERE clause to restrict on LIBNAME and/or MEMNAME to see the result for just some of the libraries that you current have defined.
