%SYSFUNC is a powerful macro function with respect to the manipulation of SAS data sets, external files and directories. In this paper we will discuss how to use SCL specific functions in a typical Base and Macro environment. By using simple examples we will illustrate the full capacity of this macro function in obtaining data set attributes, data set variable attributes, checking for existence of external files and how to read the contents of external directories.
