st: Problem with -codebook- (too many values)

The command -codebook- does not work if a variable has too many
values without labels. When the offending value label is dropped,
-codebook- works. Edited output from Stata 8.2 that demonstrates the
problem is attached below. The example uses .a in the label
definition but any value can be substituted. Is it possible to use
-codebook- in such a situation without having to drop value labels?
Thank you.
