Max,
You can save value label in a macro using the macro extended functions. For instance
sysuse auto, clear
local f0: label origin 0
di "`f0'"
will get you want you want. If you want to automate this process a little bit, try
sysuse auto, clear
levelsof foreign, local(levels)
local lbe : value label foreign
foreach l of local levels {
local f`l' : label `lbe' `l'
}
di "`f0' and `f1'"
This example uses an additional macro extended functions, -local lbe : value label foreign-, which returns the value label of the foreign variable. See -help extended_fcn- for more information.

Subject: st: Saving labels in macros
Dear Statalist Users,
I am trying to save the labels from a variable (not the code itself). In this
case the variable is \"clas_tig\" and I want to save the labels from the following
tabulation:
----------------------------------------------------------
clas_tig Freq. Percent Cum.
INGRESOS CORRIENTES 14,722 32.12 32.12
INGRESOS DE CAPITAL 2,960 6.46 38.58
TRANSFERENCIAS 14,692 32.05 70.63
FINANCIAMIENTO 13,460 29.37 100.00
Total 45,834 100.00
----------------------------------------------------------
because i want to use this labels later for titles of graphs i am going to do
for each category of \"clas_tig\" separately.
Thanks for your time.
Saludos,
Best Regards,
