A Data manupulation question with open number of variables

I have the following dataset with character variables (subject, style) and
numeric variables (no1, no2, no3 no4,no5.........n)

subject style no1 no2a no3h no4u no5t
------- ----- --- --- ---- ---- ---
1023      PN    0    1    4    2   9
1023      SN    0    .    .    .   .
1098      PN    1    5    6    7   8
1098      SN    0    0    .    .   0

I need to create a data set where if all the numeric variables (no1, no2a, no3h, no4u, no5t...n)
have 0 or 1 for the same row then that row needed to be deteled. I can not specity the variable name
in the program and I have to use the code inside a macro and the number of the variable can anything.

I think there might be a way to do something like:
if n01*no2*........*no5t*.....n <1 then detele.
But not sure how to put in a code to execute.

The result dataset should be as below:

subject style no1 no2a no3h no4u no5t
------- ----- --- --- ---- ---- ---
1023 PN 0 1 4 2 9
1098 PN 1 5 6 7 8

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

data have;
infile datalines missover;
input subject $ style $ no1 no2a no3h no4u no5t;
datalines;
1023      PN    0    1    4    2   9

1098      SN    0    0    .    .   0
;

data want;
set have;
cnt=0;
array no(*) _numeric_;
do i=1 to dim(no);
if no{i} not in (0,1,.) then cnt+1;
end;
if cnt>0;
run;
