I have a column with multiple lines.

 

Many contents are similar with the word "export" present in the column "Reason", example:

 

at line 1 there is = Export to Canada

at line 2 there is = export Mexico

at line 3 there is  = export Japan

at line 3 there is  = export 

 

many other lines don't have the export.

 

Is there a single way to make SAS delete the lines where the word "export" is present in the column"Reason"?

You can do it with a simple Proc SQL command - here's an example using a copy of a SASHELP file which you can adapt for your purposes

 

data cars;
	set sashelp.cars;
run;

proc sql;
	delete from cars where upcase(model) contains "CONVERTIBLE";
quit;
