  13. SUMMARY:  Problem with DATA step VIEWs and RENAMEs
  14. REL/PLTF: 6.07 MVS
  15.  
  16. I encounter some strange results involving  the  interaction
  17. of KEEPs and RENAMEs pertaining to a DATA step VIEW.  Here I
  18. create a view which should return one  observation  and  one
  19. variable:
  20.  
  21. 12            data view (keep = newname) / view=view;
  22. 13            rename oldname = newname;
  23. 14            oldname = 1;
  24. NOTE: DATA STEP view saved on file WORK.VIEW.
  25. NOTE: The DATA statement used 0.01 CPU seconds and 3575K.
  26.  
  27. But when I try to print it, nothing is there:
  28.  
  29. 15            proc print;
  30. NOTE: No variables in data set WORK.VIEW.
  31.  
  32. I get the expected results if I leave off the VIEW option or
  33. if  I  use  a  KEEP statement (KEEP OLDNAME;) instead of the
  34. KEEP data set option.
