Hi Chris,

Thanks Chris.

To users of older versions of SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3 and/or users who do not have the privilege to install are finding it hard.

I have an alternative way to get the list of variable names from a SAS data set.
Right click on the dataset icon then select 'properties'.
From left pane of properties box, select 'Columns'; click the 'copy to clipboard' button then paste to wherever is convenient.
