By default, PROC PRINT lists all the variables in a data set. You can select variables and control the order in which they appear by using a VAR statement.

For example, the following VAR statement specifies that only the variables Age, Height, Weight, and Fee be printed, in that order:

proc print data=cert.admit;
  var age height weight fee; 
run;

The procedure output from the PROC PRINT step with the VAR statement lists only the values for those variables.

In addition to selecting variables, you can suppress observation numbers.

To remove the Obs column, specify the NOOBS option in the PROC PRINT statement.

proc print data=work.example noobs;
  var age height weight fee; 
run;
