Joerg,
Here's an example that does what you request.
. set obs 100
obs was 0, now 100
. gen var51 = runiform()
. label variable var51 "since years"
. char var51[varname] "`: variable label var51'"
. list var51 in 1/10, subvarname
+----------+
| since ye |
|----------|
1. | .1369841 |
2. | .6432207 |
3. | .5578017 |
4. | .6047949 |
5. | .684176 |

6. | .1086679 |
7. | .6184582 |
8. | .0610638 |
9. | .5552388 |
10. | .8714491 |
+----------+
. gen var52 = runiform()
. gen var53 = runiform()
. label variable var52 "since months"
. label variable var53 "since days"
. foreach var of varlist * {
2. char `var'[varname] "`: variable label `var''"
3. }
. list * in 1/10, subvarname

Dear Statausers,
I have a question to the list-command. I don' t want the varname in
the list-output-header, i want the varlabel. All i found is the char-
command and than the subvarname option in the list-command. It is
possible to say Stata in the char-command use the varlabel as
subvarname? For all Variables in the Dataset?
I don´t want to type for every each variables a new subvarname like
this:
char var51[varname] "since years"
Thanks,
Jörg
