I use three fingers for typing and it is hard for me and time consuming.

In SAS, one may pipe some usful information into clipboard and do a <crtl> -v to paste it into the program editor window. Then you can tailor those information and save you a great deal of time in writing programs.

Here is an example.

enter,

<crtl>-v                         *== paste;

in the program editor window after running the program below.

***************************************;
data tmp;
array var(2000);
do i = 1 to 500;
   var(i)=i;
end;
keep var:;
run;

proc sql noprint;
select name  into: vlist1 separated by ' '
from dictionary.columns
where upcase(libname)='WORK' and upcase(memname)='TMP'
         ;
quit;

filename dummy clipbrd;
data _null_;
file dummy;
put "&vlist1";
run;
