SAS: sashelp.vlibnam

Macro %library_info

The following simple macro gets the data from sashelp.vlibnam to print some information about a library.

It is executed with the (uppercase) name of a library: %library_info(TQ84_LIB) (assuming that TQ84_LIB is the name of a library).

The output might look like this:
