You're absolutely right. I didn't realize it at first because I was
going to try to read the variable names in as well (just because this
was the way it was done in similar programs we have here). But reading
in the variable names is unnecessary as you can pick up the variable
the amount corresponds to from the position... which takes you back to
basically what I had at the start. So I think that it what we will
probably stick with (and the proc transpose solution someone gave
earlier will also be helpful in many situations as well). Many
thanks!!!
