In addition to
unab v: _all
di "`v'"
ds
di r(varlist)

another way is available via -syntax- e.g.

sysuse auto, clear
syntax [varlist]
di "`varlist'"

which is a handy trick in a do-file in addition to being invaluable in
-program-s since you can supply a varlist to your do-file, or (by
default) let it operate on all variables.
