Abstract

labcopy copies value labels, or swaps them around. labdel deletes them. lablog defines value labels for values which are base 10 logarithms containing the antilogged values. labcd defines value labels in which decimal points and commas are interchanged compared with the Stata default. labdtch detaches value labels. labmap maps numeric values to numeric labels. labnoeq removes text up to and including "==" from variable labels. labvalch supersedes labcopy and labdel. labvarch is a more general tool to change variable labels. labmask assigns the values (or value labels) of one variable to another. These command-line tools may complement John Gleason's interactive labedit (STB-51). labvalclone clones a set of value labels under a new label name. labvalcombine combines two or more sets of value labels. It requires Stata 8.
