+
+The `%expandDataSetsList()` macro is dedicated to "lazy typers".
+
+It allows to expand data set names provides in form of a SAS list for a given library.
+
+See examples below for the details.
+
+The `%expandDataSetsList()` macro works as pure macro code.
+
+### SYNTAX: ###################################################################
+
+The basic syntax is the following, the `<...>` means optional parameters:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%expandDataSetsList(
+    lib
+   ,datasets
+  <,quote=>
+  <,views=>
+)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Arguments description**:
+
+1. `lib`              - *Required*, is a name of a library
+                         where data sets are looked-up.  
+
+2. `datasets`         - *Required*, is a list of data sets or views 
+                         to be expanded. Can be named list (e.g. `x_:`),
+                         can be enumerated list (e.g. `y_1-y_5`), or both.
+                         Also the `_ALL_` value is accepted. 
+
+*. `quote`            - *Optional*, binary indicator (default `0` means "no").
+                         Tells if data set names should be quoted. 
+
+*. `views`            - *Optional*, binary indicator (default `1` means "yes").
+                         Tells if views names should be listed too. 
+
+---
+
+ 
+### EXAMPLES AND USECASES: ####################################################
+
+**EXAMPLE 0.** Create data sets for tests:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data x_a x_b x_c x_d x_e x_f;
+  x=17;
+run;
+data y1 y2 y3 y4 y9 y10 y11 y12; 
+  y=42;
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+**EXAMPLE 1.** Display names of listed datasets, handle not existing too:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%PUT #%expandDataSetsList(lib=work,datasets=x_: y1-y4 y9)#;
+
+%PUT #%expandDataSetsList(lib=work,datasets=x_: y1-y4 notExist_1-notExist_10)#;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+**EXAMPLE 2.** Display one and all datasets from `WORK`, names quoted:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%PUT %expandDataSetsList(lib=work,datasets=_ALL_, quote=1);
+
+%PUT %expandDataSetsList(lib=work,datasets=x_a, quote=1);
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+**EXAMPLE 3.** In tandem with the `resolve()` function:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data _null_;
+  test=resolve('%expandDataSetsList(lib=work,datasets=x_:, quote=1)');
+  put test / test hex72.;
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+**EXAMPLE 4.** Workaround for `proc delete` not working with colon operator,
+               observe a warning info for `x_:` list:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+proc delete lib=work data=%expandDataSetsList(lib=work,datasets=x_:)
+;
+run;
+
+%PUT #%expandDataSetsList(lib=work,datasets=x_: y1-y4 y9)#;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+**EXAMPLE 5.** Including and excluding views:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%PUT %expandDataSetsList(lib=sashelp,datasets=_ALL_);
+
+%PUT %expandDataSetsList(lib=sashelp,datasets=_ALL_,views=0);
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+
+The `%unifyVarsCaseSize()` macro converts *all* variables names into low-case or
+upcase letters for given library and list of datasets. Only necessary conversion is
+done, i.e., variable `abc` will not be converted to low-case letters. 
+
+See examples below for the details.
+
+The `%unifyVarsCaseSize()` macro works as pure macro code.
+
+[NOTE:] The macro internally uses the `%expandDataSetsList()` macro.
