You can get, or use, a varlist with all variables, if that is what you want, in several ways. Here are five.
1. unab
2. describe, varlist
3. ds
4. findname (SSC)
5. foreach v of var * {

I am working with a merged data set
that has more than 400 variables and I was trying to generate
variable list of the form:
var1 var2 var3
I tried to use describe, fullnames to get the list and then copy as a
table but the result is very messy. Does anybody knows a command or an
easiest way to do that?
