Hello Miranda and other SAS-L Friends,

Perhaps you will receive other suggestions but it looks to me like a job
for the dictionary tables.  Perhaps the following conference paper, "You
Could Look It Up: An Introduction to SASHELP Dictionary Views," could be
helpful.  Look at the macros that start on page 4 for ideas on how to put
together a list of data sets with nobs equal to 0.  A link to this paper
can be found at:
