Masoud,

I agree with datanull's suggestion, except if your k: variables were not entered in sequential order. For example:

data a; call missing(of a b c d e f k3 k2 k4 k1); run;

proc print data=a; var b d a e k:; run;

However, if you can get away with a bunch of notes in your log, you could correct that as follows:

data a; retain k1-k99; set a; run;

proc print data=a; var b d a e k:; run;
