Sample 51610: Extracting the Extended Observation Count file attribute
 |  |  |  |  |
SAS data sets that are created with the EXTENDOBSCOUNTER=YES option contain the ExtendObsCounter file attribute that can be viewed under the Engine/Host Dependent Information in the output listing of the CONTENTS procedure. If the SAS data set is not created with the EXTENDOBSCOUNTER=YES option, the ExtendObsCounter field is not listed in the CONTENTS procedure output.
The sample code on the Full Code tab shows how to create a SAS data set with the EXTENDOBSCOUNTER=YES option. It also shows how to extract the ExtendObsCounter file attribute using the SAS Output Delivery System (ODS). This sample uses the ODS OUTPUT statement and specifies the output object, ENGINEHOST, which is created by PROC CONTENTS.
To see all of the output objects created by the CONTENTS procedure, place an ODS TRACE ON statement before the CONTENTS procedure, and place an ODS TRACE OFF statement immediately after the CONTENTS procedure.
For further information about the EXTENDOBSCOUNTER= option, see the following page in the SAS® 9.4 Language Reference: Concepts:
