SAS dictionary tables

The SAS dictionary tables contain metadata. They are created during SAS' system startup.

The dictionary tables only can be accessed by proc sql and the reserved (longer than 8 character) libname dictionary.

dictionary.dictionaries

The metadata about the dictionary tables itself is also stored in a dictionary table: dictionary.dictionaries.

The following statement returns all dictionary tables:

proc sql;
  select distinct memname
  from   dictionary.dictionaries;
quit;
