st: Variable labels with proportion

[Geoff Dougherty <geoffdougherty@gmail.com>]

Hi, all. I am using svy: proportion to calculate percentages for a long list of variables. I am wondering if there's a way to have the output display the variable labels rather than variable names. I saw an indication in an old listserv post that this may not be possible, so if anyone has an idea for a workaround, that would be great. 

Also, I'm wrestling with creating a value label that will display categorical variables as binary: 

#delimit ;
 label define tobinary
   1    "Yes"
   2    "No"
   7    "No"
   8    "No"
   9    "No"
   ; 
 
 However, values 2-9 are showing up as individual levels in the output. Any idea how to remedy this without recoding a long list of variables?  

Thanks,
Geoff Dougherty
