That's a bit trickier than it looks; I got it to work by putting the label on the symbol table but then had to wait until the data step finished to be able to use it, thus the proc datasets in the solution rather than just code in the same data set for the label.
data temp;
x='1';
label x ='another label';
run;
data temp2;
set temp;
y=input(x,1.);
call symput('label_x',vlabel(x));
run;
proc datasets library=work nolist;
modify temp2;
label y="&label_x";
quit;

Hi
Here is my problem around labels:
data x.temp;
x='1';
label x ='some label';
run;
data x.temp2;
set x.temp;
y=input(x,1.);
run;
Now I need the same label for y as it is for x.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance
-Rajat
