st: Renvars and simultaneous renaming of several variables

["Herve STOLOWY" <stolowy@hec.fr>]

Dear All:

I found the renvars elements by downloading the STB-60.

I can now formulate my question.

I have 200 variables named in the following way:

vary98
vary99
vary00
vary01

Could I rename all the variables with one instruction to obtain:

vary1998
vary1999
vary2000
vary2001.

If not, should I distinguish the 1990s and the 2000s?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

Herve Stolowy
