Apply Original Column Names

Check this option if you use temporary variable names for simplifying the syntax for any of the two list-style fields above (List of Variable Names and Types and List of Variable Names and Lengths) and want to have the original column names as defined in a row of the raw input file.

Note: You must specify a nonzero value for the Row Number of Variable Names for this option to take effect.

The original names are updated according to SAS naming conventions if necessary.

Caution: Renaming can take a long time for extremely wide data sets.
