Proc Corr is the basic procedure for getting Pearson and several other correlation measures.

Default behavior is to use all numeric variables in a data set and provide a matrix of correlation values. Use a VAR statement to restrict which variables are used.  An example you should be able to run:

 

Proc corr data=sashelp.class;
  var height weight;
run;
