For an explanation of the available options,
see the CONTENTS procedure in
Base SAS Procedures Guide.
The CONTENTS procedure shows the contents
of a SAS set and prints the directory of the SAS library.
While most of the printed output generated by the CONTENTS
procedure is the same across all operating environments, the Engine/Host Dependent
Information output depends on both the operating environment and the engine.
The following example output shows the Engine/Host Dependent Information that
is generated for the V9 engine from these statements:
