Subject: Checking N on the fly

 

In a data _null_ step I'm checking for the existence of a couple of data
sets in order to populate a dynamic menu later,  as follows:

 

data _null_;

  call symput('dt',today());

  call symput('session',"'" || "&_sessionid" || "'");

  if (exist("sgdata.user_graph_privileges") and 

     exist("sgdata.graphs"))then call symput('graph','Y');

  else call symput('graph','N');

run;

 

If the datasets exist, is there also some way to check whether they have
any data (e.g. non-empty) within the same IF statement?

Thanks
