Sorry, a single loop will do I guess...
foreach X of varlist n* {
=09label variable `X' `X'
=09}

Betreff: Labeling variables
Hi,
Is there a command that tells Stata to set the label of each variable to th=
e
variable name?
Or, alternatively, loading my file with -insheet- , can I tell Stata that
one row (using long data) contains the information for the variable labels?
Details: I have data in the long form, the column headers are detailed
descriptions of the items. Basically I would like to use those names as
labels and then rename the variables to shorter names directly in Stata, to
avoid errors in this process:
Pretty easy problem I guess, but only found more complicated alternatives
and no straightforward solution, thanks for your feedback.
- Tom
