Dear Michael,

	Thanks a lot!
	Actually my question was the following:

How can I show the full name of variable in a summerize or description table?  
Or is there a command or configuration which can give me a full name list of my dta file?

Just want to find way to save time of doing data cleaning.	


Warm regards,

Maoyong
