You could save the set as a -note- and then use -local list: char ...-
to bring the note into a local macro
. sysuse auto,clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
. note: price mpg gear
. save "test_auto.dta",replace
file test_auto.dta saved
. clear*
. use "test_auto.dta", clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
. local list :char _dta[note2]
. browse `list'
