If you want to automate that pull-down menu process, you can ! In an explorer view window follow the menus... / tools / options / explorer This offers the "Explorer Options..." dialog/frame where you should select, in Registered Types the "TABLE" line, and press the "Edit" button.

That opens the dialog/frame titled "Explorer Options: TABLE options"

One of the "Action" values will be "&Open" for which the "Action Command" is probably "VIEWTABLE ......" with a lot of parameters

When you select the action for VIEWTABLE and press the "Edit" button, a small box will open allowing you to add ; name to the "Action Command"

Pressing "OK" buttons a few times will save this change.

Finally, press the "Close" button on "Explorer Options..." and try the explorer opening a dataset with your revised options.

Good Luck Peter Crawford

Richard,

If you are using the default data viewer (VIEWTABLE) when accessing the data set from the SAS Explorer, you can select "Column Names" from the "View" pull-down menu.

I have a SAS v8 dataset from somewhere else. The variables have labels. I need to remove the labels so that I can see the actual variable names whern I want to check out the data in SAS explorer. How can I remove the labels? So far I have resorted to changing the lables to labels that are the variable names.

Thanks
