Marks, Jim
Juris:

Do you need this in a macro? Do you need to update each month? (each
time you run the macro?)

The renaming can be done through regular code, that can be included in a
macro:

RENAME VARIABLES
   (izdevums_1999_01 = izdevums_1)
   (izdevums_1999_02 = izdevums_2)
                        .
                        .
                        .
   (izdevums_2004_01 = izdevums_65)
.
