{title:Description}

{p}{cmd:codebook2} dislays a codebook for specified variables, or all variables in
memory.  Based on the {cmd:codebook} command, {cmd:codebook2} takes a different approach
toward deciding on what information to display for specific variables.  {cmd:codebook2}
is intended to be used in conjunction with the {cmd:vartyp} command. 
{p_end}


{p}
The {it:varlist} when using the "{cmd:using} {it:filename}" form of the command must list each variable singly;  common variable lists such as "var1-var12" cannot be used.{p_end}


{title:Options}

{p 0 4}{cmd:type()} can be used to set a variable type when one has not been defined
for the listed variable(s), or to temporarily change the type.{p_end}
{p 0 4}{cmd:header} is used to display information on the data file as a whole - number
of variables, number of observations, sort order, etc.  {p_end}

{title:Examples}

{p 8 12}{inp:. codebook2}{p_end}
{p 8 12}{inp:. codebook2, h}{p_end}
{p 8 12}{inp:. codebook2 id birth}{p_end}
{p 8 12}{inp:. codebook2 id, t(id)}{p_end}
{p 8 12}{inp:. codebook2 birth, t(date) h}{p_end}
{p 8 12}{inp:. codebook2 birth using mydata, t(date) h}{p_end}
