st: question about speedy labelling

["Radu Ban" <rban@nber.org>]

I have the variable labels for my dataset as two variables. i.e:

var_name    var_label
var1            label1
var2            label2
 .....             .......
varn            labeln
 
var1 through varn all exist as variables in my dataset. is there a speedy
way to assign labels, taking advantage of these two variables?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
 Radu Ban
