Hi all,
I have 3 var,
VAR1 VAR2 VAR3 in dataset name A
want to change VAR1=FILEID VAR2=SUTSAB VAR3=ID by keeping dataset name same, A..
what code should look like?
Thanks...
is this is correct - i don't have SAS with me so just want to make sure
data a;
set work.a;
rename var1=fileid var2=stusab var3=id;
run;
Thanks
Yes, it is correct.
yes, this is correct!
Yes, but you're basically deleting your old copy and creating a new copy.
If you have a large dataset you may want to use proc datasets to rename the variables in the dataset.
proc datasets library=work;
modify a;
rename VAR1=FILEID VAR2=SUTSAB VAR3=ID;
quit;
