Hi there,

Using the example provided in the documentation of -levels-:

    . levels factor, local(levels)
    . foreach l of local levels {
    .        di "-> factor = `l'"
    .        whatever if factor == `l'
    . }

Is it possible to display the value labels of factor rather than the
numerical codes?
Yes. Use the extended macro function -label- (see online help for -macro- or -[P] macro-).

For instance, instead of

di "-> factor = `l'"

you could have typed

local fvalcur:label (factor) `l'
di "-> factor = `fvalcur'"

I hope this helps.

Roger
