Hi,
does anyone who knows both R and SAS have an idea what is the equivalent of As.Name() function in R? What As.Name() does is using a string value of one variable as another variable name.
Thanks,

Depends on how you were planning to use it.
VValueX may be one option
or Rename could be another.
The SAS procedure that is closest to R is SAS/IML. In SAS/IML, you can use the VALUE and VALSET functions to get or assign values to matrices whose name is given by a string. See the article Indirect assignment: How to create and use matrices named x1, x2,…, xn - The DO Loop
And if we are "outside" IML I come to think of SAS File functions and/or macro programming.
