st: Useful labelling of dummy variables following logit

[Tim Evans <Tim.Evans@wmciu.nhs.uk>]

Hi all,

I'm running a logistic regression analysis (logit) in Stata11.2and capturing the output in a log file to which I intend to refer to even when not using Stata. However, the dummy variables in the table output is not user friendly in that I need to be looking at Stata to decode the dummy variables and I wanted to know whether there was a way to get Stata to label up the dummy variables? I'm using the following command:

xi: logit Early1  i.eth2 age i.invsurg i.region i.dep if dep!=9 & sex==2, or


                                                                                                
Early1                    Odds Ratio          Std. Err.                z              P>|z|    [95% Conf.          Interval]

_Ideprivat~9      (omitted)

I would like to know if its possible to get Stata to label up _lregion_8 for example - (but all dummy variables labelled)

Best wishes
