This was discussed earlier today in
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2010-05/msg01431.html
But note that your code is a loop around a varlist with a single
variable. So it reduces to
display _newline(3) _column(4) as text "`: var label pwvssn'"
ta diag, sum(pwvssn)
A more general recipe runs like this
foreach v of varlist <whatever> {
di `"`: var label `v''"'
}
The compound double quotes `" "' are for any " inside the variable
label.

foreach var of varlist pwvssn {
...
display _newline(3) _column(4) as text "`var'"
ta diag, sum(`var')
...
}
How can I display the variable label rather than the variable name?
