Answer / natraj
In data step and Proc step you can use the data set options
such as KEEP= / DROP= .
ex: data xxx (keep=a); or data xxx ( drop= b c);
run;
proc print data=xxx (keep=a) or ( drop= b c);
run;
you can use the VAR STATEMENT in PRINT PROCEDURE to list
the desired varibles;
ex: proc print data= xxx;
var a ; /* put your desired variables */
run;
