Use if condition like any other language.

DATA want;

SET have;

if DAT ^="DAT6" then DELETE ;

RUN;

@abhra07 JSL is part of JMP isn't it? Not part of SAS Base? If you're using JMP this is not the correct forum.

If JSL is supported within SAS now, feel free to correct me and disregard this entire message 🙂
