Usage Note 37170: Variable name in ParameterEstimates table changed from 'Variable' to 'Parameter'
 |  |  |  |
A categorical explanatory variable in the CLASS statement may have numerous parameters associated with it. To better accommodate this situation, the ParameterEstimates table and data set now contain a variable named "Parameter" instead of the previous name, "Variable."
This change took effect for PROC LIFEREG in SAS 8.2, for PROC TPHREG in SAS 9.1, and for PROC PHREG in SAS 9.2.
If you have programs requiring the previous variable name, consider using a RENAME data set option as follows when writing the ParameterEstimates table to a data set, for example:
ODS OUTPUT ParameterEstimates=PE(rename=(Parameter=Variable));
