I tried that approach, however the only thing that happens is that it
"feeds" 0 and 1 through, not the var label. However when the var is
1/2 everything is OK. I find it strange that at least the 1-value
doesnt find its associated var val in 0/1 variables.
e.g.
capture program drop km
program km
local h
local g 1
qui levelsof `1', local(lev)
di `lev'
foreach val of local lev {
local k `:label `1' `val''
di "`k'"
local h `h' `g' "`1' `k'"
local m `m' lab(`g' "`1' `k'")
local ++g
}
etc
etc
