set reg.regnoout;
delete point {4 30 157 163 164 165 167 171};

Really? Post the link please. 

It it should be 

if point in (list of values here) then delete;

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);
