Transpose a dataset and retaining a column without transpose

jayakumarmm — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:46:56 GMT

I need a help in transposing a dataset without transposing a column in the data . Transpose the label names instead of column names in the dataset since column names are truncated due to length restriction in SAS.

I have tried transpose dataset with copy and by commands but I am not able to retrieve the exacts results. I have upload a document to have a view of Current and expected dataset.

Easier with a data step. Set up two arrays, one for character values and one for numeric and follow the methods illustrated in the link below.
