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.
