Dear Michael,
Thanks a lot!
Actually my question was the following:
How can I show the full name of variable in a summerize or description table?
Or is there a command or configuration which can give me a full name list of my dta file?
Just want to find way to save time of doing data cleaning.
Warm regards,
Maoyong
