I am trying to convert char to numerci from original data set.

data census.numeric;
set census.rough;
VEHn=input(VEH,1.);
HFLn=input(HFL,1.);
run;

It works as well. Just want to check, if we can in some way associate some info about the new variables that we create so that when i  do a proc contents on the new data ser the new variables also have some info about them.

Now there is no info about what they are since i replaced the original with these new ones.

I guess you want to add labels to the new variables ?!

 

 

data census.numeric;
set census.rough;
VEHn=input(VEH,1.);
HFLn=input(HFL,1.);

LABEL

   VEHn  = '  your info for this var '

    HFLn =  '  your info for this var'

  ;

run;
