Those fields information is stored in sashelp.vcolumn.
Using the power data step + put statement will create the file you want.

data test;
  attrib solddate length=8 format=yymmdd10. label='sold date';
  solddate='1jan1960'd;
run;

data _null_;
  set sashelp.vcolumn(where=(upcase(libname)='WORK' and upcase(memname)= 'TEST'));
  if _n_=1 then put @1 "name"  @20 "type" @25 "length" @35 "format" @45 "label";
  put @1 name  @20 type @25 length @35 format @45 label;
run;
