I am not able to give you a general answer, but if your question is linked
to a previous question of yours
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-06/msg00521.html
Then just add -display "`v'"- to your loop
foreach v of varlist _all {
describe `v'
display "`v'"
summarize `v'
}
Best,
Renzo

Subject st: A question about long variable name

Dear Friends,
Sometimes, I just need to use some downloaded stata data file.
After sum and des, I found some variables have long names and some part of
their name is abbreviated as ~. How could I show the full name of a long
name variable in stata? I have searched for an answer for a long time and
can not find a way out.
Warm regards,
Maoyong
