Thanks very much for that. To sum, I did the following
use mydata, clear
ssc inst descsave
descsave, sa(varname) keep(name)
use varname
li
forval i = 1/109 {
local names `names' `=name[`i']'
}
matrix colnames R = `names'
clear
svmat mymat, names( col )
which gave me a dataset from my matrix with the appropriate variables names.
Thanks again,
Sheena
