The command HILITE OTHER will do a nice job of "chromacoding"
your SAS code.
There are a dozen or so options for HILITE such as HILITE REXX, HILITE JCL,
HILITE PLI, but I like the results for OTHER (meaning - other PL/I-like
language)
 
It only falls down on my PROC SQL code (there is no HILITE SQL option).
