Subject: st: New -labelsof- package available from SSC


Thanks to Kit Baum, a new package called -labelsof- is available from
SSC.

To install the package, type

 . ssc install labelsof

-labelsof- is a small tool to list the labeled values of a variable.
-labelsof- returns in r(values) a list of the values and in r(labels) a
list of the labels.

-labelsof- complements official -label list-.

Example:

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. labelsof foreign

foreign (origin):

           0 Domestic
           1 Foreign

. return list

macros:
              r(name) : "origin"
            r(values) : "0 1"
            r(labels) : "`"Domestic"' `"Foreign"'"
