How do I change multiple variables USE to the same?

[adeliefan]

I have a large number of variables (>1k) in a dataset and I'd like to change most of them to the USE of No from their present setting of Default. Is a way to do this please?

Thank you!

It's not clear what you're trying to do here, can you provide a small example?

Sorry yes – I am using SAS Enterprise Miner. I have added a data source and I want to change the variables USE for a Variable Selection node from Default to No for the majority of the variables. I know how to change them one by one, but there are a lot of them. Is there a way to select multiple variables and change their USE to No please? Thank you!

Which interface of SAS are you using? Enterprise Miner?

To select many variables that appear sequentially

I believe you can click on one variable and then shift-click on the last one in sequence, so they are now all highlighted. Then changing one variable to NO changes all the selected variables to NO
