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.

They already are saved for you. You can get the value labels individually
by means of an extended macro function (see the example below for use with
graph titles).
In order to find out more, type
help local
and follow the hyperlink to the topic, "extended_fcn" and then look under
the heading, " Macro extended functions for extracting data attributes".
