Joe,

That is too verbose. A shorter version:

data ;
   do while (1) ;
   end ;
run ;

Or until(0) can be substituted for while(1). The same thing... For the LOC
number, though, nothing can best Toby's-like offering

data ;
   set sashelp.class point = _n_ ;
run ;

except that it will consume quite a bit of I/O resources while "idling".

Kind regards
