Gregor:
I am not really sure what your question is: it seems that you already have the solution: Make a do file that reads something like this:
set more off
log using c:\wherever\whatever.log
codebook
desc
fileinfo
tab1 var1-vark
exit
c:\wherever\whatever.log is your codebook.
Furthermore it is generally good practice to leave the raw data raw, and do data manipulations in a do-file and safe the do-file, not the modified data. This will document the changes you made (with any comments you added) and give you an easy way to correct mistakes, which inevitably happen in any data manipulation project.
Hope this helps,
Maarten

Subject: st: Codebook as codebook can
in order to get a "complete codebook" i'm trying to create
a log-file with all information of a dataset.
codebook gives me the varname, varlabel, range etc;
fileinfo all values (incl. label) of the variables;
further I'd need a tabulation of (most) vars.
Is there a way to bring it in one file?
