%do i=1 %to &no_var;
proc sql;
create table var&i as

quit;
%end;

%do i=1 %to &no_var;
proc sql noprint;
create table miss&i as
select count(*)/&no_obs as mlsing
from var&i

What is it you want to accomplish?  If it is just getting counts of missing and non-missing values, take a look at:

SAS FAQ: How can I see the number of missing values and patterns of missing valuesin my data file?

Also, you can get a list or file of all variable names using dictionary.columns
