Getting label within datastep

[Kwok]

Hi All,

Is there any way to extract the value of variable lable and convert to the value of a seperate variable within a datastep ? For example, If i want to create a variable label_desc which has the value of the the lable of the corrosponding variable ?

Just want to see there is a better way then doing it with proc contents , sorted and then merging back to the dataset.

Thanks

The SAS DATA step function VLABEL is what you want to use.
