Hi Experts

 

I wanted to check with you if there is a way to control if a table is loaded in memory in a cas lib.

 

I expect that If I run something like:

%if %sysfunc(exist(gms.topic_scoring_prod)) %then %do;

in a macro program, I could still get positive results, as the table is indeed stored in the library BUT not loaded into memory.

 

So maybe exists something similar to control for loading of the table?

 

Thanks
