Re: st: entire contents of a value label

[Nick Winter <nw53@cornell.edu>]

You could also pick up extended missings with this, after the current forv 
loop:

if `r(hasemiss)' {
        foreach l in `c(alpha)' {
                local labval : label rs015 .`l'
                if ("`labval'" ~= ".`l'") local rs015lab "`rs015lab' | 
`labval'"
        }
}
