_strip_labels is for value labels, Lazlo was asking about stripping
all value labels.
Even so, _strip_labels takes a varlist argument, so you could skip the
loop and instead run:
_strip_labels *

Yeah, I know about the misreading. Our postings seem to be crossing in the mail
server.
What I didn't realize is that _strip_labels doesn't balk if the variable happens
to be string, float or otherwise has no value labels, and that's why I did the
external looping with -capture-. Thanks for the tip.
