I assume that your dataset consists of variables var year and than all
countries. To get a list of the names of all variables except var
year type:
ds var year, not
local countries `r(varlist)'
To rename all these variables type
local i = 1
foreach var of local countries {
rename `var' c`i'
label country `i' "`var'", add
local i = `i' + 1
}
Hope this helps,
Maarten
