here's my sas log:

=====

19   proc print data=sashelp.class;
20   run;

NOTE: There were 19 observations read from the data set SASHELP.CLASS.
NOTE: PROCEDURE PRINT used (Total process time):
      real time           0.01 seconds
      cpu time            0.01 seconds


WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference _VTTABLENAME not resolved.
21   %put &_VTtableName.;
&_VTtableName.
22   %put &_VTtableLabel.';
WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference _VTTABLELABEL not resolved.
23   proc print data=sashelp.class;
24   run;
25   %put &_VTtableName.;
26   %put &_VTtableLabel.';
&_VTtableLabel.';proc print data=sashelp.class;run;%put &_VTtableName.;%put
&_VTtableLabel.'
=====

vt_printlist:

=====
SLIST(
   TITLLIST=(
       1=(
         TEXT='&_VTtableName &_VTtableLabel' {C}
         FONT=(
            FONT='SYSFONT' {C}
         )[9] {L}
      )[7] {L}
   )[5] {L}
)[3]
=====

so no joy.
