Hi Everyone,
So I have a long list of variables and I only want to keep (or drop) all variables with "Jan" or "jan".
Any help is very much appreciated.
HHC
data have;input Jan1 _1_jan Feb March_ ;datalines;1 0 0 02 1 1 1;run;
UNTESTED CODE
proc sql; select distinct name into :names separated by ' ' from dictionary.columns where upcase(memname)='HAVE' and upcase(libname)='WORK' and upcase(name)?'JAN'; quit; data want; set have (drop=&names); /* OR set have (keep=&names); */run;
