st: UPDATE: once again -reshape- and labels

[Andrea Bennett <mac.stata@gmail.com>]

Dear Statalisters,

So with a more detailed question again (see previous post by me). The  
data set contains these variables: id, Ax1-Ax10, Bx1-Bx10, Cx1-Cx10.  
Every group (e.g. Ax1-Ax10) has the very same label which should be  
applied to the new variables after reshape. This is the code I got so  
far:

/* store label of each group of variables */
local lrshp "Ax1 Bx1 Cx1"

foreach v of var `lrshp' {
	local l`v' : variable label `v'
}

/* reshape */
local rshp "Ax Bx Cx"
quietly reshape long `rshp', i(id) j(wave) /* giving me a data set  
with the variables: id, Ax, Bx, Cx, wave */

/* set label */
foreach v of var `rshp' {
	label variable `v' "`l`lrshp''"
}


This way, Ax gets the correct label but Bx and Cx get the label of Ax.  
I seem to do something wrong when iterating at the end. I just really  
don't see the point.

Many thanks for the consideration,

Andrea
