Hi, I know there are some work arounds, but it would be nice to have native support to right click a column in view table, and copy to the clipboard.

In 7.1, if you right click a cell, you can copy with headers. It will copy the name, as well as the element you have selected. If you select an entire row (by clicking the record number), you can do this to get all the variable names.

 

It would be nice to just copy the headers, without having to do a proc contents, e.g.

I should have been more specific - yes, I was asking for a "copy header only" option.

OK, I'm over a year late responding to this thread, but have you considered: http://www.sascommunity.org/wiki/Automagically_Copying_and_Pasting_Variable_Names

That works only in Base SAS (windowing environment) @art297.  But...I did build an EG custom task for this idea.
