When I run the following code...

 

 

 

Data Have01;
  Input MyVar $ Date Date9.;
  Format Date Date9.;
  Datalines;
z101    04JAN16
z102    08JAN16
z103    12JAN16
;
Run;

Data Dates01 (Keep=Date);
  Format Date Date9.;
  Do i=0 To 365;
    Date=IntNX('day','01JAN2016'd,i);
	Output;
  End;
Run;

Proc SQL;
  Create Table Var As Select Distinct MyVar From Have01 Order By MyVar;
Quit;

Proc SQL;
  Create Table Want01 As Select * From Var, Dates;
Quit;

 

I get the following results...

Is there any method that the result on workspace should be only HAVE01 and all other tables should not appear? I just want end result table to be there and not other three. Something like this..

Thanks.

Ohh I got it... first I tried..

 

proc datasets lib=work;
    delete HAVE01 DATE01 VAR;
quit;

 

 

Then I tried... and It worked.....

 


Proc Delete Data = work.Date01 work.Have01 work.VAR;    *This will delete these datasets in work;
 run;

 

 

Thanks for helping.

Well, I don't know EG that well, but I suppose after your code you could add:

proc datasets lib=work;
  delete dates01 var;
quit;
run;

However that being said, looking at your code I don't see the reasoning in all those datasets simply:

data have;
  input myvar $ date date9.;
  format date date9.;
  datalines;
z101    04JAN16
z102    08JAN16
z103    12JAN16
;
run;

data want;
  set have;
  format mydate date9.;
  do mydate="01JAN2016"d to "31DEC2016"d;
    output;
  end;
run;

Achieves the same result?  What is the point of the variable "date" in the have?  Also, not a good idea to call things VAR and DATE as these are keywords, use something descriptive of your data.
