SAS Library not showing all datasets existing in unix folder

I have unix folder containing about 700 sas datasets. When I assign a library to this folder, I am able to view only 30 of the 700 datasets. I checked unix permissions for the datasets and see no difference between the ones that are visible and the ones that are not.

1) This is a pre-assigned library in SAS Management console. 2) The Datasets are still accessible if i name them in data and proc steps,Just not visible in the library.

Please check the library references for local and unix libraries. they should be exactly similar. then only we can see the datasets in window environment.

The issue with partial listing of SAS datasets in SAS library is finally resolved with the help of SAS Support.

This is the response I got from them:

“The problem is related to Swedish characters in SAS filenames, we have renamed the 3 files with Swedish characters and then all tables is showing We still don’t know why this is happening and will register a support track regarding this. As a workaround all personnel should not save filenames with Swedish Characters while we investigate why this is happening”.

For example out of 700 datasets, 3 had filenames containing the special character ä. This was somehow having an impact on the Listing in SAS EG and Proc Contents. When it was replaced, all 700 files automatically started appearing.
