LABEL Statement

Causes DBMS column names to default to SAS variable labels when the new table is created

Default: DBMS column names default to SAS variable names
Requirement: You must use the RESET statement after the LABEL statement for the LABEL statement to take effect.
Interaction: RESET
Note: If a SAS variable has no label, the variable name is used. If the label is too long to be a valid DBMS column name, the label is truncated.
