I want to rename some of the variables in english into korean;

data rename1 (RENAME = (lastname = address = 주소 birthdate = 생일));

      set original ;

run;

Apparently SAS does not recognise korean character.  Is there a language package available?

You can read more about multilingual support in the documentation.

The only hope would be to set the option VALIDVARNAME=ANY and specify the name as a name literal in the form of a quoted name followed immediately by the letter n.  For example:   'sex'n  'normally invalid name'n

That said perhaps you might have an easier time changing the LABEL of the variable instead of the name?
