You can do that using extended macro function, see:
-help extended_fcn- and the example below:
*------------ begin example ---------------
sysuse auto, clear
foreach var of varlist _all {
local lab : value label `var'
di "`lab'"
}
*------------ end example -----------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html )
Hope this helps,
