Properties of data set

[souji]

Hi,

Which statement will read the data set properties of cert.input02?

is this below is correct?

proc contents data=cert.input02;

run;

Thank you

[jhammouda]

Yes, it is correct.  Did you try it and dit not work for you?

it work fine , had a doubt on properties of data set vs description of the data set.

as you said, seems like both wording are same

I see a difference between those terms. IMO "properties" covers the technical side (variable names, types, formats, labels, number of observations), while "description" would cover in depth the function of the dataset within a larger framework ("this table holds the organisational structure of the salesforce").
