@csc,
And...here's the task! Glad that I was able to demo it for you in Las Vegas at the Analytics 2015 conference. It's events like this that can make things happen!
You can download the task from the SAS support site as a ZIP file. The instructions for installation and use are in the README.txt in the ZIP file.
When you add the task, you'll see three new entries under Tools->Add-In->Data Utilities.
Each one copies the column names (variable names) from the active SAS data set in a slightly different format: CSV on one line, CSV on multiple lines, and just a straight list with names one-per-line, no separator.
Enjoy!
Chris
