data some datasets; * make some data ;
retain some columns;
run;

%mv_webout(OPEN)
%mv_webout(ARR,some)  * Array format, fast, suitable for large tables ;
%mv_webout(OBJ,datasets) * Object format, easier to work with ;
%mv_webout(CLOSE)

Parameters

ds	The dataset to send back to the frontend
_webout=	fileref for returning the json
fref=	temp fref
dslabel=	value to use instead of the real name for sending to JSON
