Not clear exactly what you are seeking. Presumably you have datasets
that should be compatible but there are might be clashes in detail.
Running -labelbook- in each dataset separately and looking at the
results should help.
A -decode- on each variable with value labels would produce string
variables that should be compatible.
(-multencode- (SSC) is a tool to ensure that the process can be
reversed consistently.)
