Usage Note 33590: You can determine the open ODS destinations programmatically
Beginning with SAS 9.2, you can programmatically query which ODS destinations are open. You can perform this task by querying the DICTIONARY.DESTINATIONS dictionary table. Querying the DICTIONARY.DESTINATIONS table will display both the open ODS destinations and the style applied to the destination. As with other dictionary tables, you can also query this information with the SASHELP view SASHELP.VDEST.
