Subject: st: simple variable list with labels
I'd like to be able to produce a simple list of full variable names and
labels that can be pasted into a spreadsheet.
So far i've tried using codebook and describe but these either produce
too little or too much output.
Ideally i'm looking for something like the uselabel command i.e.
creating a new dataset comprising names and labels.
Any ideas?
