Title

     uselab -- list value labels and variables using them

Syntax

        uselab [namelist] [, variables]


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

Description

    uselab lists value label names and all variables they are attached to.
    It provides similar information to uselabel, but without creating a
    dataset. If namelist is not specified, all value labels in memory are
    listed together with all variables that use them.

Options

    variables lists value labels attached to variables in namelist together
        with all other variables in the current dataset, that use the
        respective value labels.

Example

        . sysuse nlsw88 ,clear
        (NLSW, 1988 extract)

        . uselab

        racelbl: race
