if the (drop=variable) statement is used in the data statement with 3 data sets, but i say to drop the same variable in all 3, can it still be used in calculations?
I agree with @Cynthia_sas that posting your code would be a good idea. But your question is also easily answered by trial and error - usually more effective that getting answers from others.

It depends on where and how you specified it. So Yes and No.
