st: Declaring list of variables in a dataset and storing to a local/global

["Charles Thibault" <cthibault@corzen.com>]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to get the names of the variables in a current dataset
and store them in a macro?

I am looping over files and the files don't all have the same variables, so
allowing me to store these variable names in a macro would help make my code
dynamic.

Thanks,

Charles Thibault
