Proc contensts data = sasuser . _all_ nods;
run;
I am unable to understand output for this , is this printing list of data sets names in sasuser library only or list of data sets in sasuser library plus the descriptor portion of every data set in sasuser library . I am unable to understand when proc contents prints list of data sets only and when list of data sets + descriptor portion of every data sets
Your code as posted throws a syntax error.
Run this instead:
proc contents data=sasuser._all_ nods;
run;
The documentation for proc contents is the same as for the contents statement in proc datasets, so see here: http://documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=pgmsascdc&cdcVersion=9.4_3.3&docsetId=proc&docsetTarget=p1v2467v...
Especially note the paragraph for the nods option. Play around with it, to see how the different options influence the outcome.
Thank you sir , it helped a lot
