Your aim is misguided. A string variable cannot itself have string
labels (or numeric labels for that matter). You can label the numeric
values in -x- with the values of -y- as value labels. See
-findit labmask-
or
-findit sencode-
for possible solutions. Each application of -findit- will identifiy
download sources and documentation for the program in question.
