oops... in my little example, the call to the program should, of course, be ds_varlab not d_var.

In answer to your first question, perhaps:

Hi,

I've checked the user's guide, programming and the
reference guide.  I want to use describe and only want
the variable name and variable label - not the other
information.  Also, when I use a table command - I
would like to see BOTH the variable name and the
variable label - is this possible?

Thanks,
Buddy
