Yes, -descsave- can do this (with a -do()- option), if the output
variable has the same name as the input variable. In the examples
quoted, however, there are prefixes and suffixes, so we have to do some
additional looping.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes

Can't this be done with Roger Newson's -descsave- (SSC)?

I did indeed overlook something, as -uselabel- will not help here,
either. Seems there is no canned way to save variable labels.

I might be overlooking something here, but the question is/was about
_variable_ labels, not _value_ labels. As far as I see, -label save-
just saves and "restores" the latter. -uselabel- may be used, but it
seems more burdensome than the few lines of code Nick suggested.
