Hi All.
I have a huge dataset which has various coulmns(variables).
I want to find different values that exist in the dataset for a particular variable.
Thanks in advance

Two approaches I use often.
PROC SQL
proc sql;
create table WANT as
select DISTINCT VARIABLE
from HAVE;
quit;
SORT PROCEDURE
proc sort data=HAVE(keep=VARIABLE) nodupkey out=WANT;
by VARIABLE;
run;
To get just a little more information, you could try:
proc freq data=have;
tables variable / missing;
run;
Now you'll see how often each value appears in your data set.
