Hi Im wondering if the Sas Help and Dcoumentation that is accesible in Sas 9.4 is stored offline? I often use SAS when im on the go and dont have internet access. I tend to have my own notes on how to use several functions, so is it possible to edit sas documentation if the files are stored in the program? I found that there are some files with .hlp extensions that would imply that they are used for the documentation. But so far i wasnt able to edit them. Any idea if that is possible?
It may have been an option on install that was not chosen. I know that I have the documentation stored on my computer for 9.4.
I suspect for later installs you need to ask for that as part of the installation package though.

Instructions here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-create-a-data-step-version-of-your-data-AKA-generate/ta-p/258712 will show how to turn an existing SAS data set into data step code that can be pasted into a forum code box using the {i} icon or attached as text to show exactly what you have and that we can test code against.
Provide the minimum amount of data to demonstrate your issue and show us what the result should be for any supplied example data.
I'm not following your code as to what is to be accomplished but it almost sound like some of the "condition" information might be useable to build formats??

Yes, you can create formats from a table. See, e.g., www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2007/068-2007.pdf
and then you can apply the same format(s) to as many variables as needed.

Why exactly? I am sure if you provided a bit more information on the process surrounding this request, a far better solution could be found than selecting x number from a large list of variables, and then creating macro code, which you will than have to create even more macro code to work with etc. Its just exponetiating the code you need to write.
