renaming variables in E Miner

[paul_goodhew]

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to rename my variables in E miner? Does this need to be done with a code node? If so can anyone provide sample code?

The reason is that with all the prefixes like REP_ , IMP_, OPT_, etc that get added to the variables, they end up over 30 characters long and Teradata does not acccept these variables when we try to score data using model manager.

As you indicate I would use the SAS Code node to rename the variables using the macros varaible names for the data sources you want to import and export.

SAS has a 32 character limit.
Teradata has a 30 character limit.
Long variable names is something we look into.
