How to show/keep multiple column in data view of SAS windowing environment?

whymath — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 01:46:49 GMT

In SAS windowing environment, I can use "keep name" or "show name" command to keep only "name" variable showed in a data view.

But can I keep two or more variables at one shot? I have tried "keep name age" and "keep (name age)", they didn't work.

This is where I use this command:

COLUMNS 'sex age height'

ONE set of quotes around a space delimited list of variable names.

I quickly tried:
columns 'sex age height'
show 'sex age height'
keep 'sex age height'
They both work, XD

Thank you very much.
