One approach is to "write code to write code"; I find this handy for many
situations:
data labels_set;
informat varname $50. label $50.;
infile cards delimiter=',' MISSOVER DSD;
input varname label;
cards;
isv_study_nbr,Study Nbr
isv_visit_location,Visit Location
isv_visitdate,Date of Visit
;
run;
filename ft35f001 "c:\temp\ft35f001.txt";
data codeset;
informat var1 $600.;
set labels_set;
var1= trim(varname) || '=' || trim(label);
file ft35f001;
put var1;
run;
data new;
set isv_injection_study_visits;
label
%inc ft35f001/source2;
;
run;

I have table 1 contains:
name label
v1 my label 1
v2 your label
-------
I have table 2 contaion
id v1 v2 v3...
I want v1 v2 v3 to be labeled by using label in table 1, how can I do that?
(v1 will be label "my label 1", v1 to be labeled "your label"...)
Thanks.
