hello,

the first idea which comes after your question is to use an ODS statement and the contents within but I'm sure you know this technology.
So, could you explain more precisely the results ?
I wonder if the papers want to talk of metadata ?
it's not only a flat file generated with ods csv file=.... proc contents data=.. , isn't it ?

have you look for the papers into the depth of Lex's site ?

Stéphane.
