Title

     labmm -- Modify multiple value labels

Syntax

        labmm [namelist] \ # "label" [# "label" ...] [, variables]


     where namelist is a list of value label names or, if variables is
        specified, a varlist


Description

    labmm modifies (multiple) value labels. All value labels specified in
    namelist are modified according to definitions.  The syntax is very
    similar to label define with one exception. Associations of intergers and
    text must be separated from namelist using \. If no namelist is
    specified, it defaults to _all, meaning all value labels in memory, or if
    variables is specified, all value labels attached to variables in the
    dataset.

Options

    variables causes namelist to be interpreted as a varlist.


Examples

        . sysuse nlsw88 ,clear
        (NLSW, 1988 extract)

        . labmm _all \ .a "don't know" .b "refused"
        
        
Acknowledgments

    Modifying multiple value labels was suggested by Anna Reimondos on
    statalist.  Michael Norman Mitchell's solution led to this ado.
