Subject: st: Using variable label in stata as you would a macro
> Hello all,
> I am wondering if there is a way in stata to use the labels
> given to variables as you might a macro. For example,
> suppose you have a variable "state" where the values are the
> state names in the US. You turn this into a series of dummy
> variables then run a series of regressions in a loop such
> as:
> foreach var of varlist _Istate_1-_Istate_50 {
> reg x y
> outreg if `var'==1, se append
> }
> What I'm wondering if there is a way to do this:
> foreach var of varlist _Istate_1-_Istate_50 {
> reg x y
> (some command that gives you the variable label of `var')
> outreg if `var'==1, se append ctitle(label of `var')
> }
> This would give you a spreadsheet where each column is
> labeled with the relevant state name.

> Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
