Lesson 8, Part 1: SAS Metadata - What It Is, How It Is Built, and How to Access It¶

SAS keeps metadata in session memory while the session is running. 
•	This includes: 
        - Variable names, types, lengths 
        - Labels and formats 
        - Number of observations 
        - Index information 
        - Engine/physical attributes (like compressed or sorted) 
•	Metadata can be accessed: 
        - DICTIONARY tables (dictionary.columns, dictionary.tables) 
        - SASHELP views (sashelp.vcolumn, sashelp.vtable)
