Should be the last question for a while...haven't found the answer to this
in the SAS manuals.

I am reading in a long sequences of SAS datasets (indexed by time), and need
to read in a different set of variables for each one.  I have all the
information about when to use what variables in a SAS data set that includes
varible name, starting date, and ending date.

Any ideas on how to get the information from this data set to a keep
statement?  In other words, is there an easy to way to create a macro
variable that is equal to the observations of a SAS data set, delimited
by spaces.  Sincere thanks for any bright ideas.
