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-
For such names, you need to use a name literal:
data apt_data1 (rename=('no-show'n=show));
Thank you for your kind reply.
