Hello,

 

I have around twenty different answers in one column 'A'.   Column A is in text format.   I would like to get a full list for all of them.   Any idea how?  Basely, I would like to use the method to apply for the other ten variables.   Thanks!

How about this:

 

proc sql;
     select distinct a from mydataset;
quit;

The simple answer is that PROC PRINT will create such a list.

 

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "a full list"?

No, I only the 20 different answers, not the full list of 500 rows.
