Sounds like you are trying to generate a list of variable labels, to use in another program, e.g.:
Data want;
set have;
label &label_list;
run;
I would consider writing the code to a temporary file instead:
filename tempsas temp;
Data _null_;
file tempsas;
put 'label';
do _N_=1 to nobs;
set test nobs=nobs;
dscr=quote(trim(dscr),"'");
put name '=' dscr;
end;
put ';';
end;
data want;
set have;
%include tempsas;
run;
