Hello everyone; 

 

I am a new SAS user and am trying to create a data analysis project using SAS. I tried renaming a variable with the name "No-Show" to "Show". I tried using all the renaming methods but was not able to change the name of the variable. Kindly guide me on how I can do this. Your help is appreciated.

 

here is the code I wrote-

options validvarname=any;
libname aman "/home/u58428058/Aman2023";

data apt_data1 (rename=(no-show=show));
set aman.apt_data;
run;

 

this is the error I am getting-

68
69 data apt_data1 (rename=(no-show=show));
ERROR: no does not have a numeric suffix.
70 set aman.apt_data;
71 run;
 
kindly help.
