input id $ b c $ d e $ f;                                 
datalines;

run;

proc contents data=test out=vars(keep=name type) noprint; run;

%let rvar = "id", "b";

%let rvar1 = "c", "d", "e", "f";

data vars;
 set vars;
 if name NOT in (&rvar); *Of course this line will not work;                  
 *if name in (&rvar1); 
/*IT works if I set 'rvar' accordingly. 
Though, this can be an option, thre are so many variables
to consider for my data set under this condition; */                
run;
 

Exisiting data;

Should be simple.  The meaning of a subsetting if IF statement is that if the condition is NOT met then the data step loop stops. So 

if condition ;

is the same as 

if NOT condition then DELETE;

So in your case you want 

if name NOT in (&rvar) then delete;

Ah! The real problem is being a newbie in SAS. I just could have used:

if name in (&rvar) then delete;
