Nick and Scott.
Thanks for your ideas. This helps. But is there a way to get the
unabbreviated varlist in column form, without any additional info (e.g.
var labels, etc.)? -ds, varwidth(32)- lists the vars one next to the
other as opposed to in a column. Similarly, -unab- stores the varlists
in a local macro such that the varlist are one next to the other (like
a long string). -describe, full- and -describe, simple- cannot be
combined to -describe, full simple-, which would be necessary to
generate an unabbreviated list of vars without any other extraneous
information. I can probably work with ds as mentioned above, but it
would save time if it could produce a (downward running) list of the
varnames.
