Sample 46680: How to list all the names and types of SAS files in a library, including the file sizes and number of observations and variables
Use the DETAILS option in the CONTENTS statement to add columns of information, such as the number of indexes, observations, and variables, to the default PROC DATASETS directory output, and the NODS option to suppress the contents of individual data files.
See the Full Code tab for example code that can generate this report as a PDF file instead of the SAS log.

The Full Code tab illustrates how to add columns of information to the default PROC DATASETS output, but suppress the traditional PROC CONTENTS type output for individual data files. The NODS option in the CONTENTS statement and the DATA=_ALL_ option suppress the contents information for individual data files. The output is restricted to a list of files showing the additional columns with the number of indexes, observations, and variables for the data sets.
You can also suppress the repetitive printing of the directory information to the SAS log by using the NOLIST option, and then route the output to a PDF file.
/* To run this code successfully, first modify the LIB= option in the PROC DATASETS */
/* statement and specify an active library reference. */
