First, everyone that posts questions are entitled answers if there's anyone who wishes to answers them. So please have a descriptive title for your question as subject, not a cry for help.

And why don't want to use keep/drop, when that's the simplest way to accomplish your question?

ANd by the way, what do you mean "see"?

If his is a report, you usually explicitly tell which variables you wish to present, regardless of what variables that is stored in the underlying data set.

As Linus mentioned, it's important to know how you are viewing the results.  You could easily control the variables that print in a report:

proc print data=totalweight;

var famid weight;

run;

However, if you are viewing the data set interactively, the easiest way would be to move those columns to the left and ignore the columns on the right.  To move those columns to the left, modify the LENGTH statement so that it defines them first:

LENGTH famid weight 8 kidname $ 4 sex $ 1;

use other proc ? like proc sql, proc means ?

proc means data=sashelp.class nway sum ;
class sex;
var weight;
run;
