I have rather broad file with 1500 variables and my interest fits into several groups and I have these in external files (Z/OS) and use them as the VAR option in Proc Compare. Elsewhere I'd like to use these as part of a Data step with either:

  1. Keep %include External(Varlist);
  2. Set stuff(Keep= %include External(Varlist);

I imagined these would work but both fail with the '%' being unexpected.

Any ideas how I can include the list of variables?

Note that #2 is missing a ).

Have you tried

     Keep
         %include ...
         ;

and

     Set stuff(Keep=
                             %include ...
                  );
