Abstract

vallabdef inputs 3 variables in the current dataset, assumed to contain the names, values and labels for one or more value labels, and defines (or extends) the named value labels. The user can then save the value labels in a label-only dataset on disk, with no observations and no variables, which can then be appended to another dataset, and used as a source of value labels to be allocated to variables. vallabdef is very useful for defining value labels which cannot be defined using label define, because they cannot be surrounded by simple or compound quotes {for instance, a value label that contains an unpaired right quote at the end).
