Hi Ziad,
In case you only want to label variables not values, I would probably try to
work with two loops.
In the first data set you could use,
foreach var of varlist _all {
local `var'label : variable label `var'
}
then add a command to open your new file and run something like,
foreach var of varlist _all {
label `var' `"``var'label'"'
}
Nevertheless, this would only work if your variables are named identically. If
you want to do that in separate do files use global macros instead. Also I'm not
sure if that works out with the quotes in the second loop but it's worth a shot.
I hope this can lead into the right direction.
Best
Sven-Oliver
