Hello Ronnie.
Command "ds" will return you r(varlist). Then open a text file for
writting with "file open ... " and loop through the variables in the
list "foreach var of ..." write to the file with "file write ..."
your variable name and label. Labels are returned with
`"`: variable label `var''"'
don't forget to put these labels in quotes, and put end of line markers.
close the file after the loop with "file close".
"insheet" the resulting file
Best regards, Sergiy Radyakin
