Thanks Maarten and Nick for the responses so far, but I know of label, rename, and renvars (all great). But I want to avoid having to rename and relabel 300 variables in successive commands. What I am looking for is an editor/spreadsheet, as in SPSS's variable view. That would save a ton of time. As I see it now, using the data editor is far less cumbersome than 300 rename/label statements and renvars doesn't make the whole process that much easier.
Any help would be appreciated. And if not, why can't Stata do this as SPSS has?
