Masking dimentions/ variables

[ashishpalkar]

Hi There

I have created around 200+ variables and the have names something like below.

%Region_1  which need to be changed as Region

I am looking for some script function which will help to change/mask the existing variable name.

Thanks in advance,

If you mean Fieldnames, rather than Variable names; You can rename fields with the RENAME statement.

RENAME FIELD %Region_1 TO Region;

Or create a mapping load of all renames and use the statement:

RENAME FIELDS USING mapname;

use MAPPING function
