Using array to name columns

jeffgreen — Sun, 30 Aug 2020 06:08:51 GMT

Hi everyone,

I currently have a csv file, and I am wanting to name my columns using the array function.

I have 37 variables- the first variable is treatment, and the next 36 are T1-T36.

How would I go about naming my columns?

Sorry I am new to SAS, this may sound like a dumb question.

You can do this in the INPUT statement:

input treatment t1-t36;

If you need to add informats (e.g. for character variables), use brackets:

input treatment :$30. (t1-t36) (:$20.);
