Regrads,

you probably have more conditions, but since you haven't stated them the following does what you'd want...
data test2;
set test;
name="xyz";
run;

If you have a number of records you may want to change the name only when it is abc.
data test2;
set test;
if name='abc' then name='xyz';
run;
Thanks Reeza and barheat it worked.
