st: Saving variable response sets over many datasets

[Alex Sutherland <as2140@cam.ac.uk>]

Dear Statalisters,

I am working with 97 datasets which *should* be the same but are not. =
The variables are named consistently but the response set for the =
variables differs. I would like to check the consistency of the =
responses by compiling the response sets for every variable & dataset in =
the order that the variables appear. I had thought something to the =
effect of:

foreach d of dataset {
	foreach var of varlist x1 x2 x3 {
		codebook `var'
		logout, excel `var'
		}
	}

Would work but codebook will not store the variable labels. So I'm =
unsure what is more suitable (-ds-?). Further, I'm again not sure how to =
append/add the output into a single (Excel) file.=20

Any suggestions / shortcuts are very welcome.
