what is the main difference between rename and label? (don't
say that they both perform the same function).
Answer Posted / rajaanku11
1. Label is global and rename is local i.e., label statement
can be used either in proc or datastep where as rename
should be used only in datastep.
2.If we rename a variable, old name will be lost but if we
label a variable its short name(old name) exists along with
it's descriptive name.
