Let's just say I have a variable x in dataset work.y and I want to dump its
label into a text variable xl. Is is possible? I suppose I could do PROC
CONTENTS, dump the output, then merge it back but surely there's an easier
way.

The problem is that someone had PROC TRANSPOSED

You can use VLABEL or VLABELX functions.

I don't understand the last statement.

Ken,

Three methods are described in the following paper:

Sorry I wasn't clear. Someone had transposed the data so that although in
the original dataset there was a name of the person and a dollar amount, the
new dataset has the person's name as the label for the dollar amount and
each dollar amount is now an unique variable.
