Dear Renzo,
This is different question. When a variable has long name, the sum or des table always give out the abbreviated name, like educ_q09_w~4. Now I am using other people's dta, so I don't have the varible list in had. As Michael said, I can get it from variable window. The reason I want to show the full name of sum or des table is that my boss want my report readible and clear to him. So actually my question is that:
How can I show the full name of variable in a summerize or description table?
Or is there a command or configuration which can give me a full name list of my dta file?
Just want to find way to save time of doing data cleaning.
Warm regards,
Maoyong
