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);
