Hi,

 

I am creating a cleaning program for a dataset, and I would like to put the variable label instead of the variable name in my put statement without having to type each one individually.  

 

What I currently have is:

if varname=. then put id= varname="Missing value";

 

What I want is:

if varname=. then put idvarlabel="Missing value";

 

 

Can someone please assist?

 

Thanks in advance!!

Try using the VLABEL function?

 

 

x=vlabel(varname);
if varname=. then put id= x="Missing value";
