st: AW: AW: Detach value label from string var

We import our data by a XML-file where <lbllist> is given for all vars (e.g. <lblname varname='BN15_2__5'>BN15_2</lblname>) despite (non-)existing value labels defined under <value labels>.
A trick would be to remove the value labels for all string vars in the XML-definition <lblname>. I hoped to do this by a Stata command and not going back to our contractor changing the export-mechanism...

What does "importing a dataset" mean? The effect does not seem to occur
here:
*************
sysuse auto, clear
outsheet using myfile.csv, comma replace
clear*
insheet using myfile.csv, comma clear
d
la dir
codebook, p
*************
-codebook- returns "make" as a "string var with embedded blanks", but how is this issue connected to any -label-?

Another problem I cannot solve myself:
By importing a dataset all variables get label values attached - also string vars. This leads to "string vars with embedded blanks" by codebook, p.
For numeric vars with empty value labels I used:
. label values `r(labelnotfound)' .
But
. label values `r(str_embedded)' .
does not work.
I even can not do this via the Variables Manager. Any idea how to do this?
