There is probably a simple solution to this problem but I can't find
it:
I have a bunch of long variable names (30 or more characters). I want
to send a list of simple descriptive statistics to my coauthors and so
ran summarize. The problem is that the left-most column is truncated at
16 characters or so, so the variable names are indecipherable. There
doesn't seem to be an option to changes this in summarize, changing line
linesize doesn't help, and really can't think of any other way to do it
(I could probably use collapse and list but that seems awfully round
about) I am hoping someone has a simple idea. Thanks
