Rename:
It is used to change the name of the VARIABLE peremanently.
Renaming should be done in a standardized was (start with _ or letter, should not start with special charaters or numbers).
Label:
It temporarily changes the variable name.
it can be written in data step or proc step.
Labelling can be done in unstandardized way (can contain blanks, start with numbers or letters or _) .
Label will not change the actual name of the variable
