Jato, You aren't going to get much help until you show how the array is related to the data that you have. For example you might have something like data w ; array v (4) _temporary_ $ 32 ( "id" "name" "gender" "phonenumber" ) ; input ( f1 - f4 ) ($) ; cards ; x y z a ; but I wouldn't want to work on a guess, since you could have something very different, and I suspect that many others will also wait until they know what the problem is.

I have an arry which has 90 values in it, the values are something like ID, Name, Gender, PhoneNumber.........

What I want to do is to use these values as variable names/column names when I create new dataset. This new dataset should be something like the following:

ID Name Gender PhoneNumber .......... x y z a

There should be some easy ways to do it than hardcoding, but I just can't figure it out myself. Please help.

Thanks a lot.
