{title:List value labels (if present) for one or more variables}

{p 8 21 2}
{cmd:lablist} [ {varlist} ] [ , {cmdab:var:label} ]


{title:Description}

{pstd}
{cmd:lablist} produces a list of the values and value labels
used by the {help label:value label sets} belonging to each of a list of variables,
if such {help label:value label sets} are defined.
If no {varlist} is specified,
then {cmd:lablist} uses the full list of variables in the dataset currently in the memory.
{cmd:lablist} is therefore similar to {helpb label:label list},
but it requires the user to specify only the variable name(s) in the {varlist},
instead of specifying the {help label:value label set(s)}
belonging to the variable(s).
It is often used with {helpb tabulate}, or with the {help ssc:SSC} package {helpb xcontract}.


{title:Options}

{p 4 8 2}
{cmd:varlabel} specifies that {help label:variable labels} will be printed (if present),
in addition to any value labels.
