st: adding the variable name to the label text

I have a large PSID file I am working on. As many of you will know the variable names aren't the most informative. I would like to add the current variable names (like ER360001) to the front of the variable label string. After that is done I will go through and manually rename the variables that I want one by one. If have been able to use the following to display what I want in the new label's, but I can't seem to change the labels.
. foreach x of varlist _all{
2. local u : variable label `x'
3. display "`x'" " " "`u'"
4. }
Any input is appreciated.
