Hi. Do you Guys have any idea why the labeling is not working?

proc print data=work.CONTROL label;

var ProductType PapirNavn isinkode fondskode nominal_base ca_pv_base SystemNr DelBeh NotaNr riskType;

label nominal_base = 'Nominelt d.kr.'

ca_pv_base = 'Kursvardi d.kr.';

run;

I have used the proc print inside and outside a macro. Still not working.

Please post your log.

For reference, this works:

proc print data=sashelp.class label noobs;
var name;
label name='test';
run;

Result:

It Works if im opening a complete new sas e.g. program but it is not working in an exisiting sas e.g. project?

Have you any idea why?

Work in steps. Start with the code that works, and then add code and test with every single step. Something in your other code causes a problem.
