SAS catalogs are special SAS files that store many different kinds
of information in smaller units called catalog entries. Each entry has an
entry type that identifies its purpose to SAS. A single SAS catalog can contain
several types of catalog entries. Some catalog entries contain system information
such as key definitions. Other catalog entries contain application information
such as window definitions, help windows, formats, informats, macros, or graphics
output. You can list the contents of a catalog using various SAS features,
such as SAS Explorer and PROC CATALOG.
