Lars Korsholm asked a similar question a few days ago.
If you know a variable name and its value you
can display the value label in one step with
. di "`: label (<varname>) <value>'"
. di "`: label (is1) 6'"
However, your problem doesn't sound like one
where I would do this. Why not just -list-
the selected observations and variables?
