Subject:      SAS howto grand means and variable reassignment

Hi,

I got two newbie questions, maybe somebody can help:

1)
I have many variables, e.g., a1-a200. How can I change the names of
those (reassign) to b1-b200?
I do not want to go like: b1=a1; b2=a1;...;b200=a200.

2)
I want to compute the standard deviaten and means over the WHOLE
dataset, not just for every single columns  or row. (grand mean and
standard deviation over all data)
In a 2x2 dataset (2,3)(4,2) I want the SDV(2,3,4,2) and the MEANS
(2,3,4,2). How can I achieve this?

thank you in advance,
Mario
