My Data is as follows

 

Var_A   Var_B   Var_C

5            7            2

3             8           3

1           5            6

14           7            0

7          11          13

15        5            3

 

I want to delete lines > 4  of Var_A but keep all other variables the same

So my table looks like

Var_A   Var_B   Var_C

5            7            2

3            8           3

1            5            6

14          7            0

              11          13

              5            3

Does SAS permit me to do this? And how?
