st: RE: Label range
I think the best currently available way is to use -label save-. (See
-whelp label- for details.)
You might like to write a utility to use -label save- to produce an
output dataset (or resultsset) with 1 observation per value and data on
the values and their labels, possibly in multiple languages.
I hope this helps.
