Thanks @ballardw for explaining, Just a request could you show me some example where we could use _numeric_ function
Proc print data=sashelp.class;
var _numeric_;
run;
In a data step you could do, not that this makes logical sense in most cases (adding age, height and weight doesn't mean much first as each uses different units):
data junk;
set sashelp.class;
newvar = sum( of _numeric_);
run;
