Deletes a note marker from a SAS data set or an external file
Category: SAS File I/O

DROPNOTE ( data-set-idfile-id , note-id )
data-set-idfile-id
specifies the identifier that was assigned when the data set or external file was opened, generally by the OPEN function or the FOPEN function.
note-id
specifies the identifier that was assigned by the NOTE or FNOTE function.
DROPNOTE deletes a marker set by NOTE or FNOTE. It returns a 0 if successful and ‰ 0 if not successful.
This example opens the SAS data set MYDATA, fetches the first observation, and sets a note ID at the beginning of the data set. It uses POINT to return to the first observation, and then uses DROPNOTE to delete the note ID:
%let dsid=%sysfunc(open(mydata,i)); %let rc=%sysfunc(fetch(&dsid)); %let noteid=%sysfunc(note(&dsid)); more macro statements %let rc=%sysfunc(point(&dsid,¬eid)); %let rc=%sysfunc(fetch(&dsid)); %let rc=%sysfunc(dropnote(&dsid,¬eid));
