Value Labels (GET SAS command)

SAS value formats that assign value labels are read from the dataset specified on the FORMATS subcommand. The SAS value labels are then converted to IBM® SPSS® Statistics value labels in the following manner:

  • Labels assigned to single values are retained.
  • Labels assigned to a range of values are ignored.
  • Labels assigned to the SAS keywords LOW, HIGH, and OTHER are ignored.
  • Labels assigned to string variables and non-integer numeric values are ignored.
