LABEL statement is not working?

This code is run after proc logistic. No errors in log but no label either. What is wrong here? Thank you.

data pred; set pred;
label stdresdev="StandardizedDevianceResiduals";
run;
proc print; run;

pred is created during a run of proc logistic. no errors in log.

output out=pred predprobs=individual xbeta=xbeta p=probability lower=lower upper=upper  reschi=reschi resdev=resdev stdresdev=stdresdev / alpha=.05;

Use the LABEL option in PROC PRINT.

Adding to what @PaigeMiller already proposed, you can even split the label to improve readability (if that word exists?) :

data have;
stdresdev=2.7;
label stdresdev="Standardized*Deviance*Residuals";
run;

proc print data=have label split='*'; run;

Good point. If you are going to create a label, make it a readable label.

And instead of running a data step over the whole dataset, use PROC DATASETS to only change the metadata in the dataset header.
