st: Concatenating two numerical variables with labels

[Tim Evans <Tim.Evans@wmciu.nhs.uk>]

Hi,

I'm trying to generate a new string variable in Stata 11.2 which contains the concatenated result of two numeric variables which have labels. What I want is the name from the label of each variable rather than 1 1 for instance. I've seen code for concatenating string variables, but don't seem to be able to find this.

I've tried this, but it does not give me a value of the label of two variables:

gen Lab3
replace Lab3 = `"`:label ( site2) '"' + `"`:label (sarc) '"'

Best wishes

Tim
