Example: Listing Libraries and Their Server Contexts

This program uses the SAS metadata DATA step functions to return more detailed information about the libraries. The results are returned to a Libraries data set in the Work library. The requested data includes the library metadata ID, the library name, libref, engine, path on the file system (or if DBMS data, the DBMS path), and the server contexts to which the library is associated.

It'll give you everything you want and more.
