Paula, Looking at the on-line help regarding "variable names," it is
stated, "A SAS variable name can be up to eight characters long. The
first character must be a letter (A,B,C,...,Z) or underscore (_).
Subsequent characters can be letters, numbers (0 to 9), or underscores.
No blanks are allowed. Two names (_N_ and _ERROR_) are reserved by the
SAS System." Thus, it appears that # is not a valid character in a SAS
variable name.
