Subject:      Function VARNAME
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I have found in the online "help" a function called VARNAME
which I believe would be useful for me. Unfortunately, the
complete documentation provided goes like this:
 
"VARNAME(dsid,var-num)
returns the name of a SAS data set  variable "
 
I do not know what the arguments are supposed to be - can anyone help me
out? And don't say RTFM, because it is not documented in the manuals
I have (SAS Language Reference Version 6, first edition).
 
BTW I didn't get any replies, or see any posted here to my original
question re: using the values of one variable as the name of others. Did
the question ever appear?
