Funny, you have program and ask if it's works..? Why don't you just try it?

But from a conceptual view, the data step (which uses the PDV) will not know about the original names. So after a rename, only the new names is available for your program logic.

You missed parentheses:

set have(rename=(inner=in outer=out) );
