Creating a Variable List of Big Data

The first processing step of BIG data is getting a variable list - in text format - of those 100s - 1000s variables. This report provides a SAS-code program for creating a variable list of a big (even small, if one is lazy) dataset. The program should be a welcomed entry in the tool kit of data analysts who frequently work with BIG data.
********** SAS-code Program **********
Data set IN is found in Technical Report #6.
proc contents data= IN
out = vars (keep = name type)
noprint;
run;
proc sql noprint;
select name into : varlist separated by ' '
from vars;
quit;
%put _global_ ;
********** end of program **********
The variable list is found in the log:
GLOBAL VARLIST GENDER GENDER_ GENDER_F GENDER_M ID MARITAL MARITAL_ MARITAL_D MARITAL_M MARITAL_S
