Subject   st: using foreach to add value labels

Hello statalist,

I am trying to add value labels to multiple variables at the same time, but am having no success.

The following does not work but hopefully illustrates what I want to do:
foreach var of list I872 I873 I874 I875 I835 I842 I837 I844 I911 I912 {
lab val K`var' `var'
lab val L`var' `var'
}

So, I want:

lab val KI872 I872
lab val LI872 I872

lab val KI873 I873
lab val LI873 I873

...

lab val KI912 I912
lab val LI912 I912


I could certainly just write this all out, but I imagine there is a faster / more compact way to code this.

Thanks for the help,
Jacob
