st: Re: value labels from another dataset

["Martin Weiss" <martin.weiss1@gmx.de>]

The description is a little hazy, but he tools in data -> labels -> label 
values should be sufficient. First turn the string var and the numeric codes 
into a -value label-. -encode- might also be helpful for this exercise. 
Then -label save- the -value labels- and run the do file on the first 
dataset.
