I tried your suggestion Nick, but it works only for the dummies derived from
the last variable c3 and partially as the last label defined "cana" was
affected to all of the dummies.
I can't see why.
Here is the do file. Thank you.

use ctypes, clear
program define compo3
foreach var of local 0{

local names1 "beans.... "

local cropnames "`names1' `names2' `names3'"
local codes "`names1' `names2' `names3'"
local i = 1
foreach x of local cropnames {
local y : word `i' of `codes'
lab define `x' 1 "`y'" 0 "no", modify
capture forvalues j=1/46{

}
local i = `i' + 1
}
end
local area "c1 c2 c3"
foreach k of local area {

program drop compo3
exit
