LABEL;

Details

The LABEL statement causes the column names to default to the SAS variable labels when the new table is created. If a SAS variable has no label, the variable name is used. If the label is too long to be a valid column name, the label is truncated.

For the LABEL statement to take effect, the RESET statement must be used after the LABEL statement.

An editing statement, such as LABEL, must be specified after the database-description statements when you create and load PC files. See LOAD for more information.
