https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/modifying-variable-labels/m-p/34149#M4363 thank you Chris<BR /> <BR /> Peter Wed, 23 Mar 2011 22:45:50 GMT Peter_C 2011-03-23T22:45:50Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/modifying-variable-labels/m-p/34147#M4361 is there an EG task that would help me make a standard change within all variable labels in a data set - <BR /> for example: from "_" to " ". <BR /> <BR /> Coming through SAS/Access from database columns, almost all of these variables have the database column name in the SAS variable label and any non-standard symbol has become an underscore (_). <BR /> <BR /> Before I create the small code node with proc datasets, does a task already exist to do this or to help me with this tidy-up exercise? <BR /> <BR /> peterC Mon, 21 Mar 2011 13:42:43 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/modifying-variable-labels/m-p/34147#M4361 Peter_C 2011-03-21T13:42:43Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/modifying-variable-labels/m-p/34148#M4362 Peter,<BR /> <BR /> No, there isn't such a task to modify the data attributes "in place" -- your PROC DATASETS code node is the best approach.<BR /> <BR /> Chris Wed, 23 Mar 2011 12:32:15 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/modifying-variable-labels/m-p/34148#M4362 ChrisHemedinger 2011-03-23T12:32:15Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/modifying-variable-labels/m-p/34149#M4363 thank you Chris<BR /> <BR /> Peter Wed, 23 Mar 2011 22:45:50 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/modifying-variable-labels/m-p/34149#M4363 Peter_C 2011-03-23T22:45:50Z
