Fortunately not. SAS is one of the few large systems that does not
implicitly support value labels and that separates label information
from the database [I can't count the number of times someone has sent me
a SAS dataset and forgotten to send the PROC FORMAT value labels]. See
the factor function for information about how R does this.
