To SAS-landers,

I need to access some permanent "user-defined" formats for some work I'm doing. I know how to connect to the format catalog (libname library "wherever";). But the Formats catalog has about 20 separately defined formats that aren't clearly identified as to which format goes to what piece of data (I didn't create this).

My question is: Is there a way of dumping out all of the info in there so that I can see which particular formats I need? I tried using "Proc Catalog; Contents;" but that only gave me the list of what formats were stored there, not what they contained.

If it helps, I am using VMS/SAS Version 6.09 on a VMS/Alpha network.

Thanks in advance.
