Maybe Scott refered to something like this, which I usually use for adapting dates to Excel format and somehow prefer as more beautiful:
DATA WPolSummary0 (DROP=state_old);
length state $5.;
SET
rateBusPack
rateISR
rateBW (RENAME=(state=state_old))
rateCAR
;
state=state_old;
RUN;
Cheers!
(Is this actually used as a "goodbye"? Best wishes or best regards maybe sounds like "too much" here ^^)
