Of course, proc surveyselect assumes you have SAS/STAT licensed, while
using ranuni does not. Some of us are poor boys.

If you want to do that without replacement, do the following:


proc surveyselect data = yourdata method = SRS rep = 1
                         sampsize = 500 seed = 12345 out = wor; id
_all_; /* or use you id */ run;

If you want to do that with replacement:


proc surveyselect data=yourdata  method = urs sampsize = 500
   rep=1 seed=12345 out=wr;
   id _all_;/* or use you id */

run;
