About the Table Viewer

When you open a table in SAS Studio, you use the table viewer.

Cars Table Displayed in the Table Viewer

Note: The table viewer displays the first 100 rows of the table. If the structure or data values of the table change while the table is open, you must refresh the table viewer to see the changes. If the structure of the table changes and you do not refresh the table, the columns that are listed in the Libraries section of the navigation pane might be different from the columns that are displayed in the table viewer.

You can view the properties of the table and its columns by clicking Table properties button

on the toolbar.

General SAS Table Properties Window for the Cars Table

The extended attributes tabs enable you to associate additional user-defined characteristics with the table and columns in the table. For example, you could create extended attributes that contain a URL with information about your table or the formula that is used to create a column. For more information about creating extended attributes, see Base SAS 9.4 Procedures Guide.

Note: You can add extended attributes only to SAS tables that were created on a SAS 9.4 (or later) server.
