If you are running a job with 100 librefs assigned and every libref has 1000 members, and you want information about only one table, then SASHELP.VTABLE is probably not the right solution. If you just want to look at the names of the currently assigned filerefs, then "viewtable sashelp.vextfl" is probably the right solution. Writing PROC SQL code in that case is just an overkill. -- Jack Hamilton jfh(a)alumni.stanford.org Caelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt. |
