Subject:      put those var labels?

I am trying to do a simple data _null_ that will print out a series of
values
calculated earlier and would like to put the variabel labels above. This,
 maybe just now, seems not to simple although I thought it would be. I am
thinking that the step looks something like this
 
where vmin and vmax are the starting and ending numbers for the variabels
 
....assign variables labels as I go.....
 
labels look like this
reg1 = ee4a, reg2 = dd4a,... etc....
 
%let spot = 40;
%let tspot = 40;
 %macro getlab();
  %do i = &vmin %to &vmax;
    %let loc = %eval(&spot + &i*10);
    call label(reg&i,lab);  /* variable names are like reg1-reg10 */
                            /* i suppose lab would contain the labels */
    put @&loc lab @;
    %end;
    put ;
    %let tspot = %eval(&loc + 10);
  %mend getlab;
 
 
data _null_;
  format dtox convfmt.;
  set ffinal;
  file print;
  by tox dtox;
  if _n_ eq 1 then link headit;
  if first.tox then put @2 tox @;
  ... put some values.....
  return;
  headit:
    %getlab
    put @2 "Toxicity" @30 "Degree" @;
    put @2 &tspot*"-";
    return;
  run;
 
So if you have some input thanks!
