I can't test this at the moment, but need to know what the result of the following code would be:

data test;

  set sashelp.class;

  label height='Height in cm';

run;

proc sql noprint;

  select label

    into :vlabels separated by "~"

      from dictionary.columns

        where libname="WORK" and

              memname="TEST"

  ;

quit;

%put &vlabels.;

I'd very much appreciate it if one of you would run that code and post the value (from your log) that appears for &vlabels.;

TIA,

Art
