I am working on SAS in UNIX env and I want to view only the column name of a dataset. I have tried proc contents and proc print but both of them list a lot of other irrevelant information that I do not want as it fills up my putty screen and the information ultimately is lost.
I also tried to get this thing frm the sas metadata but that is not working either. I tried :
2? proc sql;
select *
from dictionary.tables
where libname='test' and memname='sweden_elig_file_jul';
quit;
5?
NOTE: No rows were selected.
6?
NOTE: PROCEDURE SQL used (Total process time):
real time 0.27 seconds
cpu time 0.11 seconds
You're using the wrong dictionary table to get column names...
proc sql ; select name from dictionary.columns where memname = 'mydata' ; quit ;
Or using PROC CONTENTS
proc contents data=mydata out=meta (keep=NAME) ; run ; proc print data=meta ; run ;
