Hi all,

   i need to select variables which have a particular variable length
only. what is the way to do??

i know that i can do it like:   for ex;

proc contents data=sashelp.class noprint out=contents;
run;

data contents1;
set contents;
where length<2;
run;

can i do it any other way??

thanks,
Dolly.

You could use PROC SQL to query the dictionary tables ... but what's
the point, you have a very simple method that works ...

yes,

   but another simple way i came to know is using datasets with
contents.
