Another Way to Make Use of Variable Labels

Variable labels are a useful part of SAS. They allow the user to put a more descriptive name to the sometimes cryptic variable names encountered as a programmer. Used in many procedures automatically, labels can make reporting much easier. However, what if one wants to put a variable label into a different variable? How can it be done? The simple answer is CALL LABEL. This routine allows the user to easily drop variable labels into another variable.
