Lists information about the variables to be loaded.

| Default: |
ALL

LIST<ALL|COLUMNS|FIELDS|variable-identifier>;

The LIST statement lists information
about all or some of the SAS variables to be loaded into the new file. By
default, the list is sent to the SAS log.
The LIST statement can take one or more of the following
arguments:
- ALL
- lists information about all the variables
in the input SAS data set, whether or not those variables are selected for
the load.
- COLUMNS
- lists information about only the input SAS
variables that are selected for the load. This argument does not apply to
DBF files.
- FIELDS
- lists information about only the input SAS
variables that are selected for the load.
- variable-identifier
- lists information about only the specified
variable. The variable-identifier argument can
be either the SAS variable name or the positional equivalent. The positional
equivalent is the number that represents the variable's position in the data
set. For example, if you want to list information for the column associated
with the third SAS variable, submit the following statement:
list 3;
You can specify LIST as many times as you want while
creating a file; specify LIST before the LOAD statement to see the entire
table. LIST must be specified after the database-description statements. See LOAD for more
information.
