Re: st: AW: Displaying labeled values of variables

[Miranda Kim <mk@mrc.soton.ac.uk>]

Thanks a lot for this! How could you do something similar with a 
variable label, for example:
lab var gender "Subject's gender"
How could I display "Subject's gender" using "disp"; and in addition, 
how could I define a new string variable that would hold that label?
Thanks for your help!
