The REPORT statement
is used to report any inconsistencies between the physical library
contents and the corresponding metadata objects.
Inconsistencies between
the metadata security information in the physical directory, data
sets, the secured library, and secured table objects might occur if
the metadata or the operating system files are manipulated using nonstandard
SAS processing. For example, an operating system data set copied from
one directory into a metadata-bound library directory using an operating
system copy utility will not have the appropriate security information
for that metadata-bound library. Another example is that an administrator
might mistakenly delete a secured library or secured table object
using SAS Management Console.
The REPORT statement
reports the secured table and metadata-bound library security information
for each data set in the operating system directory of the library.
This data set information is grouped by the metadata-bound library
attributes that all the data sets share. If any data sets in the physical
library are correctly registered to the secured library object for
the library and have the required passwords, those data sets and attributes
will be listed as the first grouping in the report. Subsequent groupings
are for data sets with either passwords that differ from the metadata-bound
library passwords or whose metadata-bound library security information
does not match the metadata-bound library location registered for
the operating system directory.
