Nick and Michael- Thank you. I now understand how the recode works and
learn a whole new way of writing the same command!

Subject: st: Re: RE: RE: Label problem
It appears that you are misunderstanding the label option in recode. It
is
meant for naming a label that recode creates when you add text to the
transformations like (1=4 good) (2=3 very good). It does not appear to
be
meant to accept an existing label and apply it. So, you will need to
use a
loop to apply the labels to the new variables or else specify the labels
explicity in the recode command.
