Thanks to all of you. Based on the answers I have received, I believe that my question was not clear. I have noticed that from a SAS data set it is possible to generate the DDL code using proc SQL; Describe table TableName quit; as below proc sql; describe table sashelp.class; quit; Then we go in the log file and we get this: create table SASHELP.CLASS( label='Student Data' bufsize=65536 ) ( Name char(8), Sex char(1), Age num, Height num, Weight num ); quit; Now imagine that a DDL has been generated with another software and that I have a code like the one below saved in a text file. create table TableName ( var 1 char(10), var2 char(15), var3 num, var4 num, var5 num ); I can easly generate a SAS data Set using the following code: Proc sql: ( var 1 char(10), var2 char(15), var3 num, var4 num, var5 num ); Quit; My objective is to get the SAS data set without having to write PROC SQL; paste the content of the text file, then add quit; Now, I would like to know if it would be possible to generate a SAS table by calling or loading the text file which contains a DDL.
