Variable Labels

[pawaterman]

Hi Guys,

I am using the LABEL statement to assign variable labels.

However, when I run PROC PRINT the variables are still labeled with the abbreviated acronyms.

My understanding is that labels will only be printed along in certian procedures such as PROC FREQ or PROC MEANS.

Any insight into why would be much appreciated?

libname final '/folders/myfolders/final';
data final.merged_data;
set merged_data;
format DATE YYMMDD6. DAY BP CD DM JY SF;
label DATE="DATE" DAY="DAY" BP ="BRITISH POUND" CD="CANADIAN DOLLAR" DM="DEUTSCHE MARK" JY="JAPANESE YEN" SF="SWISS FRANC";
run;

proc print data=final.merged_data;
run;

I believe we need to use the label option to print the labels via proc print

proc print data=final.merged_data label;
run;

Thanks,

jag

Hi,

To view the label in your report you have to label option in "PROC PRINT" procedure

ex:

proc print data=final.mergerd label;

run;
