Hello generous SAS community members,
I have a question about listing variable names(as opposed to label names) from a table. In the attached image file, I have a table from crsplib.asix. In the table, each column is represented with label, but I do not want to double click each colum to figure out its name which I can actually use in SAS editor. Is there any simple statement that lists the variable names from a specific table?
Thank you very much for your help all the time.

In base SAS yu can click on View in the top menu and select "Column names".
If you always want names you can change the default behavior by altering the properties of a system option.
