Hi all, Just wondering if anyone was aware of a SAS setting (so within Base SAS itself or the like) that changes the default variable naming settings when doing any sort of importing (whether that be through proc import of an excel, or just using a data step to set a access database) Since about a month ago, whenever I try importing things using the above, the variable names are not being assigned consistently, sometimes it follows SAS naming convention (e.g. "Time of Month" would be Time_Of_Month), but othertimes it will import the variable as "Time of Month". I'm aware of at least the Proc import code to force it to use sas naming convetion, but since this problem is fariyl recent, I'm thinking I must have changed some setting somewhere that switches the default since other people can run it and consistently get the variable to be assigned a sas name. Thanks all for your help.
