I am brand new to SAS and I have imported an excel document.  However I do not see any properties with it now in SAS-like length, format, label that was shown in the demo.   Is this something I needed to do prior to import?  I am not a programmer.  I have the screenshot below.       On a different question, I have other files that have character variables for example that are matched with numeric codes.  For example 123=CO2014 which would indicate as specific type of a communication issue.  123 would be in one column and CO2014 would be another column.  If I were to bring all of these types of variables over into SAS, how should I handle this?  I have not yet tried to this yet.     thank you in advance-Jackie ...
