Which is an example of the old saying that to any complicated question there's
an answer that's simple but wrong.

The example works only if you are looking at a native format datastep (not a
view or a transport dataset).

How can we test if a SAS dataset is empty ?
Is there a macro that can be used ?

Any help is appreciated.
