Eamonn,

I am not sure what exactly you mean by "a list of my variable names
in one column" but does -xpose- deliver what you want?

Friedrich

. sysuse auto, clear
. keep in 1
. xpose, clear varname
. clist _varname, noobs

    _varname
        make
       price
         mpg
       rep78
    headroom
       trunk
      weight
      length
        turn
displacement
  gear_ratio
     foreign
