st: saving .dta files with codes replacing numbers

[Wolfgang Polasek <polasek@ihs.ac.at>]

Hi all

When I save the data for exporting it into Excel I get the numerical
codes and not the string variables as I see them in the data editor.

What should I do to get the the string variables in a spread sheet?
Thanks
