st: How can I create a new variable based on labels for another variable?

Hi all,
I've got a dataset where the countries have been given numeric codes
and the names of the countries are given as labels associated with
each numeric code. I am trying to create a new string variable that
will contain the labels (country names instead of the numeric codes).
Any ideas how I can do that?
Thanks!
Regards,
Qursum Qasim
