If this is a homework assignment, the following probably won't be of much help.  However, if it isn't, the easiest way to sort such variables is with an array.  e.g.,

data have;

  array vars(*) var1-var5;

  input var1-var5;

  call sortn(of vars(*));

  cards;

1 20 7 2 6

;

Hi Art,

excellente solution. Didn't know about the call routine sortn.
Very nice code and simple to understand.

Thanks for that

Why do you want to use Macro?

There is no need to use Macro. Macro is only to use to substitute sas code.

data temp;
 input var1-var5;
cards;
1 20 7 2 6
2 5 24 2 65
;
run;
data _null_;
 set temp;
 array _var{*} var1 -var5;
 do i=1 to dim(_var);
  do j=i+1 to dim(_var);
   if _var{i} gt _var{j} then do;
                              temp=_var{i};
                              _var{i}=_var{j};
                              _var{j}=temp;
                              end;
  end;
 end;
 put _var{*}=;
run;
