Okay, first let's make sure we are understanding each other properly. It seems to me that you want to drop the observations (not variables) where vendor = 'Clarity'. Is that correct? If so, please modify the title of your message.

 

In a data step, you need this line:

 

if vendor = 'Clarity' then delete;

You are correct in your assumption, and my apologies for the confusion. I meant I wanted to drop the observations in which vendor equaled clarity. Thank you very much for providing me with the solution.
