Selecting all variables

aaou — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 16:16:49 GMT

If I have a large number of variables and I wish to perform a function that involves all of them ( say for example taking the sum of an observation across all the variables), is there a way to select all the variables rather than typing them in separately?

Thank you!

data test;
   set sashelp.class;
   array _n[*] _numeric_;
   sum = sum(of _n[*]);
   run;

To learn more look in the documentation for "SAS Variable Lists"
