NAME Statement

The TREE Procedure

NAME Statement

NAME variables ;

The NAME statement specifies a character or numeric variable identifying the node represented by each observation. The NAME variable and the PARENT variable jointly define the tree structure. If the NAME statement is omitted, PROC TREE looks for a variable called _NAME_. If the _NAME_ variable is not found in the data set, PROC TREE issues an error message and stops.
