Perhaps FILTER.SHOW.ALL

Equivalent to choosing the Show All command from the Filter submenu on
the Data menu. Displays all items in a filtered list.

Syntax

FILTER.SHOW.ALL()

Great! Thanks null, you saved my day.

The code has been changed to the following and it worked.

options NOXWAIT NOXSYNC xmin;
x "start excel";

data _null_ ;
x = SLEEP(3) ;
run ;

filename cmds DDE 'excel|system' ;

data _null_ ;
file cmds ;
put '[FILE-OPEN("C:\temp\test.xls")]';
put '[FILTER.SHOW.ALL()]';
run ;
