If you mean in the Variables window, you can:
set varlabelpos 25
or whatever number is long enough to display the full varnames. If you mean
in the command output, it depends on the command, but many do not let you
specify different amounts of abbreviation. If you mean in the browse
window -- I wish I knew.

Subject: st: A question about long variable name
> Dear Friends,
>
> Sometimes, I just need to use some downloaded stata data file. After sum
and des, I found some variables have long names and some part of their name
is abbreviated as ~. How could I show the full name of a long name variable
in stata? I have searched for an answer for a long time and can not find a
way out.
