var LABEL;
ID NAME;

proc contents data=have out=cont(keep=NAME LABEL) noprint;

I am 100% sure that this question has been asked and answered multiple times, so please use the search function.
Are you 100% sure that the values of all labels have values that are valid for variable names?
I didn't ask to put the labels as variables names.
I asked to put these values as values and use same variables names (and define them as chars)
