Problem Note 59860: The JSON LIBNAME engine converts labels that contain invalid characters such as hyphens to underscores in the JSON map
 |  |  |  |  |
When labels in a JSON file contain hyphens or other characters that are invalid in SAS variable names, the JSON LIBNAME engine converts these characters to an underscore. This is true when generating a SAS data set and when creating a map file. It is correct to convert the special character to an underscore for both the data set name and the variable names within the map file. However, it is incorrect to convert the special characters in the path and tablepath to an underscore.
