Listing Your Current Librefs

You can use either the LIBNAME command or a form of the LIBNAME statement to list your current librefs. In both cases, DDnames for externally allocated data libraries are also listed, but only after you have used them as librefs in your SAS session. (See Using a DDname as a Libref .)

When you issue the LIBNAME command from a SAS window, the ACTIVE LIBRARIES window is displayed.
The LIBNAME window lists all the librefs that are currently assigned for your session. The LIBNAME window lists the full physical path name of the SAS data library, as well as the engine that is used to access the data library.
It lists all SAS files that are associated with the selected libref.
The following form of the LIBNAME statement writes to the SAS log the attributes of all the librefs that are currently assigned for your session:
