Hi,

I am also having an inner join with other table and i am picking some other values as well in this table

instead of writing dumm1,dumm2,dumm3 i want to write like dumm1-dumm24 in sql.

proc sql

create table test as

select dumm1.info,dummy1.pro

dumm2.peter,dumm2.marta,dumm1-dumm24

from
dummy1 innre jon dummy2

on (dumm1=dumm2);

Your proc sql statement has too many errors and ambiguities to show a correct example, but you can use select * and then, on the 2nd from the bottom line, add (keep=) statements after each filename.
