Go to the source code of this file.

Detailed Description

Gets list of members then calls the mp_ds2cards() macro. Usage:

%mp_lib2cards(lib=sashelp
    , outloc= C:\temp )

The output will be one cards file in the outloc directory per dataset in the input lib library. If the outloc directory does not exist, it is created.

To create a single SAS file with the first 1000 records of each table in a library you could use this syntax:

%mp_lib2cards(lib=sashelp
    , outloc= /tmp
    , outfile= myfile.sas
    , maxobs= 1000
)
