Thanks for the reply Scott,
I actually did try one of your suggestions- _NUMERIC_ as in:
data test;
set desk.Opa;
array allvar ( * ) &origvars _NUMERIC_;
do i = 1 to dim ( allvar ) ;
hasFlag = (length(trim(left(scan(allvar(i) , 2 , '.' ))))) > 2 ;
if hasFlag >0 then count+ 1;
if count > 0 then NAME="&origvars";
end ;
run ;
unfortnately my data exceeds the max length. i will research the CALL SYMPUT though.
Thanks again
