I want to delete the first 3 records in MYTABLE.
What's wrong with the following code:
data mytable;
set mytable;
delete point (1 2 3);
run;
this "delete point", I have never seen that ;-(
use:
data test;
set sashelp.class(firstobs=4);
run;
Or
data mytable;
set mytable (firstobs=4);
run;
Though I have seen LOTS of issues with
Data name;
set name;
unless you can get the original data set back.
Although you have multiple solutions based on above responses. Just to make sure, you are not trying to do this using point option right?
