SAS Companion for the OpenVMS Operating Environment

Listing Your Current Librefs

As in other operating environments, you can use the following form of the LIBNAME statement under OpenVMS to list the attributes of all the librefs that are assigned for your current SAS process:

LIBNAME _ALL_ LIST;

You can also use the SAS Explorer window to see information about your currently assigned SAS data libraries, as follows:

From the tree structure, select Libraries to list all assigned librefs.
Select View and then select Details to list attributes of the assigned librefs.

You can also see the information using the Properties dialog box. Select the libref. With the cursor on the highlighted libref, click and hold the right mouse button (MB3). A pop-up menu opens. Select Properties.

In both cases, OpenVMS logical names that you have assigned to SAS data libraries are also listed, but only after you have used them as librefs in your current SAS process. (See Using an OpenVMS Logical Name as a Libref.)
