Rename

[Ronein]

Hello

I have a problem.

I have a data set that one of the variables name is  Second_Max_niz_crd_1.2

As you can see in the name there is dot (.)

I want to rename the column  but I get an error.

Please not that the name is created by proc transpose and a data set with this variable name is created.

Try:

rename 'Second_Max_niz_crd_1.2'n=new_name

Please post your proc transpose code as you may be able to circumvent the issue altogether by adjusting that code.
