Hello,

 

I have a program that creates a table Inside the SBOX libray via macro prog and tables in the work Library.

At the end of the program I would like to delete all tables in the work so I do

proc delete library=work ; run ;

My prob is that tables are still existing in the work Library and the sbox table is deleted

many thanks in advance for your help

regards

Nasser

Hi,

 

You can use PROC DATASETS in combination with the KILL keyword to delete all datasets in a library.

 

proc datasets library=work kill;
quit;

Be careful, because this statement deletes all tables from the specified library without a warning.

 

Regards,

Pim
