@Art Carpenter I do not try to overwrite the value of GL. GL is a new column. -------------- I'll try to explane on next example: Imagine, that we have a next table GLHF registered in metadata: data GLHF; do n = 1 to 5; D = 'do not'; W = 'worry'; output; end; drop n; run; proc print; quit; Now we want to add a new column B with the lable "Be happy". And we do it in the table's metadata using DIS. If we try to open this table in DIS - we will recieve an error "ERROR: Column B could not be found in the table/view...". The question is - how to populate a new column B to existing table GLHF with all attributs, that we have set in the metadata? Simply - we need to rewrite a table duplicating all metadata attributs in data step: data glhf; set glhf; attrib b label='be happy'; b = ''; run; Somebody know other way? Because if you need to add 10 columns with diffetent attributs - duplicate there all in code can be... idly. (I have a feeling the answer "Add columns by code and then update table metadata by DIS" ^_^).
