Rules for labels

1.Cant perform operations with lables.

1. Its only for display.
2. But it changes the dataset properties.

Defining single lables

proc print data=work.test;
label  salary='annual salary`;
run;

Defining multiple labels

proc print data=work.test;
label salary=`annual salary`;
      rating=`new rating`;
run;

Printing labels

proc print data=work.test;
label x=`new x`;
run;

proc print data=work.test;
var x;
run;

This will throw an error as you can not print or operate on labels. They are only for display.
