Hi,
I have added a SAS dataset label to a dataset but when I export the data to Stata format using PROC EXPORT the dataset label is not being exported. Is there any workaround?

From what I found in the documentation (Stata DTA Files), there are no separate options or statements dealing with dataset labels when exporting to Stata. I suggest you also get in contact with SAS technical support; maybe there is something "hidden" which allows the automatic transfer of dataset labels.

Do dataset labels exist in Stata at all?

 

Note: I have not used Stata at all.

Yes- Stata can take and display dataset label.
