In the documentation for using DDE to write to Excel, there are examples of Excel commands embedded in SAS code, for example, as shown here
PUT '[select("r1c1:r20c3")]';
PUT '[sort(1,"R1C1",1)]';
PUT '[save.as("dde3.xls")]';
PUT '[quit()]';
Where can I find a complete list of these Excel commands?

Paige: two good sources that I'm aware of are:

I think the commands are all those in the link Art provided, but those don't really encompass all the options anymore because some new ones are available with the new versions of Office...
if you can find it you'll discover real documentation of the functions excel accepts through DDE in

The last reference about DDE and excel is from Guam and Hadden at Nesug2013
