Do you have rules that you want to implement? SAS does have a 'Characterize Data' task that attempts to do this, but only for categorical or continuous variables. It's impossible to tell the difference between an ordinal and nominal variable automatically.



The rules usually are based on the Number of unique values, ie if a variable only has 5 unique values it's likely categorical. That cutoff can be controlled in the task.



Otherwise, in general, this is a best guess. SAS EM does have some more rules/routines but I'm going to guess you don't have access to that.
