You can specify a range of observations with a keyword or by record number by using the POINT option. For example, if you
want to list all observations in the Sashelp.Class data set, use the ALL keyword to indicate that the range is all observations, as shown in the following example:
use Sashelp.Class; list all;

If you do not explicitly specify a range of observations, the LIST statement displays the current observation. Because of
the previous LIST statement, the current observation for the Sashelp.Class data is the last observation, as shown in Figure 7.6:

To display a specific set of observations, use the POINT keyword and specify a vector of observation numbers, as shown in the following statement:
p = {3 6 9};
list point p;
