Annotation Variables to Keep

Use this field to specify the additional annotation variables to be added to all of the output data sets. These variables are in addition to other specified annotation variables, which are kept by default.

If you leave this field blank, then all variables in the annotation data set are kept.

Caution: Keeping all of the annotation variables can result in large output data sets when the annotation data set contains a large number of columns and/or columns with large lengths.

To Specify One or More Annotation Variables to Keep:

Specify the Annotation SAS Data Set or Primary Annotation SAS Data Set (whichever applies).

All of the variables in the specified data set are displayed in the Available Variables field.

Examine the list of available variables.

Highlight one or more variable(s). To highlight multiple variables at once, hold down Ctrl while left-clicking on them.
