Have you considered a view?

data view_whatever / view=view_whatever;
set whatever.whatever(drop=variables);
run;

proc upload data=view_whatever  out=someelse.someelse;
run;

Regards,

Subject: Proc Upload


I am dismayed. I have a Sasfile on Mvs which has 150 observations. I am
moving
the file to Unix with Sas Connect Proc Upload. I want to drop 50 of the
variables so the upload processes faster.

The following doesn't work:
proc upload data=whatever.whatever(drop=variables)  out=someelse.someelse;
run;

I don't see a way to drop the variables with Proc Datasets. I want to avoid
creating another work or permanent Sasfile if possible. Anybody?
