If you're not sure your message has been sent correctly, please check the Statalist web archive before reposting.
If you're using Stata 12 you can simply:
rename *, lower
Prior to Stata 12 you should be able to use something like this:
foreach var of varlist * {
rename `var' `: display lower("`var'")'
}
For more sophisticated renaming see -help rename group- in Stata 12, or for earlier versions of Stata -findit renvars- (Nick Cox and Jeroen Weesie)
