Subject:      Variable values as column labels
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

A user asked me if it was possible to use the value generated from an
arithmetic operation in a label statement.  Ideally, something like:

label degday=year1 - year 2;

So the value of degday would appear as the label, not the string 'year1
- year2';

I think I have seen this done before but couldn't find anything in the
manuals or sample library.  For the record, I hate doing this sort of
thing and don't see why people want to change SAS' default output.  :)

Thanks for any help.

Jerry
