I use PROC DATASETS to delete temporary data sets created during a SAS
session (to free up memory).  But the fact remains that my colleague still
successfully uses PROC DELETE in version 8 of SAS for the same purpose.

Any further comments on the option POSITION on PROC CONTENTS?  Thanks.

Perhaps DATASETS was full?
