How do you want the output?

The function Call ALLPERM will do what you want

data _null_;    
/* replace _null_ with the name of a dataset if you want the results in a dataset*/
   array x [4] (23 15 9 76); 
   n=dim(x);
   nfact=fact(n); 
   do i=1 to nfact;   
      call allperm(i, of x[*]);
      put i 5. +2 x[*];
      /* put an output statement here if you want a data set*/
   end;
run;
