st: Importing variable and value labels from txt file

["Guillermo Villa" <guillermo@baphealth.com>]

Dear Statalisters,

I would like to know whether, for an active dataset, Stata is able to
attach value and/or variable labels from an existing txt file. In that
case, how should that text file be structured and which Stata commands
should be used?

Thanks.

Guillermo
