I think the suite of extended macro functions would replace most (?all) of
what -ds- does, but old habits die hard so I often use -ds-.
In Raoul's case, use of the format <varname> extended function (in a
-foreach var- loop) would do the job, assuming variables had been formatted
appropriately.

Subject: st: status of -ds- command
Greetings
The question from Raoul raised a question for me. I have noticed that
the -ds- command is no longer an official part of Stata (as of version
9). The -ds- command is amazing in how powerful (yet simple) it is. Does
anyone know why -ds- is no longer "official"... has it been replaced by
something else I am not aware of?
Many thanks,
Michael N. Mitchell
