This may have been on SAS-L before,
but I thought new SAS users don't always
get the opportunity to see more than
problem questions a lot of the time.
 
SAS TIDBIT:
   When working in the SAS editor window
   have you ever dressed up your indenting
   by adding spaces, and ever had to add
   spaces on many lines?   Well here is a
   shortcut --
        You can add or remove leading spaces
        on multiple or single lines with the (( ))
        or << >> which you can use a number
       for the number of spaces to add/remove.
 
 
BEFORE:
00001  hello
00002  hello
00003  hello
00004  hello
00005  hello
 
 
LINE NUMBER COMMAND:
00001  hello
 ))4   hello
00003  hello
 ))    hello
00005  hello
 
 
AFTER:
00001  hello
00002      hello
00003      hello
00004      hello
00005  hello
 
 
    The (( command will move left just like the )) moved right.
    Also, just like CC or DD or MM or )) or (( is for multiple
    lines.   The C or D or M or ) or ( is for single line use.
 
 
Have fun,
