| The DBLOAD Procedure for Relational Databases |
Does not load specified variables into the new table
|
DELETE variable-identifier-1 <...variable-identifier-n>;
|
The DELETE statement drops the specified SAS variables
before the DBMS table is created. The variable-identifier
argument can be either the SAS variable name or the positional equivalent
from the LIST statement. The positional equivalent is the number that represents
the variable's place in the data set. For example, if you want to drop the
third variable, submit this statement:
delete 3;
When you drop a variable, the positional equivalents
of the variables do not change. For example, if you drop the second variable,
the third variable is still referenced by the number 3, not 2. If you drop
more than one variable, separate the identifiers with spaces, not commas.
