Really? Post the link please. 

 

It it should be

I believe that the "delete point" portion of the code is only used in the SAS\IML product. Try using the following:

 

if point in (4 30 157 163 164 165 167 171) then delete;

Or a bit more efficient:

where point not in (4 30 157 163 164 165 167 171);
