Any one knows why Permanent Label in this code doesn't work?

the code that doesn't work (doesn't label the two variables)

data work.subset_pmlabel;

set orion.sales;

where country='AU'

and job_title like '%Rep%';

Bonus=salary*0.1;

label Job_Title='Sales Title'

Hire_Date='Date Hired';

drop Employee_id gender Birth_date;

run;

proc print data=work.subset_pmlabel;

run;

this is directly from sas e-training, I reeeeealy don't see any difference between.

thanks in advance

Yes, if you want to display labels instead of variable names you have to use label in proc print

proc print data=work.subset_pmlabel label;

run;

You can also use proc contents to see labels assigned to variables in the dataset.

and you can use split() options as well....

Or you can simply use proc report which print LABEL by default .
