The labels aren't tied to the -svy:tab- command output, you can create, manipulate,
and manage the labels using -label values-.
Here are some ways to access value labels without having to manually type them.
It sounds like you might want to obtain them from globals for your purpose.
*------------------BEGIN
clear
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r11/highschool
svy: tab sex race if race~=2
**
lab li
di "`e(colvlab)'"
di "`e(rowvlab)'"
**
di "`: label sex 1'"
di "`: label sex 2'"
**
global sex1: label sex 1
global sex2: label sex 2
macro li sex1 sex2
**modify labels using globals**
label def sex 3 "$sex1", modify
label li sex
*------------------END
Also, I always suggest the tools in -labutil- to anyone
working with value labels ("findit labutil").
