RE: st: Saving Output from "describe" as its own dataset
Magali might like to use the -descsave- package, downloadable from SSC
using the -ssc- command in Stata. This package produces an output Stata
dataset (or resultsset) and data on the variable names, storage types,
formats, value labels, variable labels, and (optionally) variable
characteristics. This dataset can be saved to memory and/or saved to
disk and/or listed.
I hope this helps.

Subject: Re: st: Saving Output from "describe" as its own dataset
I don't see how an indirect method of passing
-describe- output to a dataset can ever be easier
than using -describe- directly. Perhaps what you
really want is something like -ds-.

I have a large dataset and would like to have an easy way to look at
all the variables and variable types in the dataset. Ideally, I would
like to create a dataset from the output of the "describe" command.
That is, have a new dataset with a list of all the variable names and
storage types. Is there an easy way to do this automatically without
having to cut and paste anything?
