Hi Bruce,

I don't know why PROC DATASETS fails with that syntax, but the old PROC DELETE does work:

proc delete data=work._all_; run;

Hope this is helpful, Mark Terjeson Reporting, Analysis, and Procurement Section Information Services Division Department of Social and Health Services State of Washington mailto:terjem@dshs.wa.gov

Maybe I'm not using my brain lately, but if I want to clear out the work library using proc datasets, why can't I use this code:

Proc datasets library=work; delete _all_; Quit;

Thanks in advance for your help...
