List with variable labels

        dlist [varlist] [if exp] [in range] [ , nolabel noobs name(#)
                 varlabel(#) spaces(#) notrim ]

        duplist [varlist] [if exp] [in range] [ , nolabel name(#) varlabel(#)
                 spaces(#) notrim ]


    by varlist: may be used with dlist or duplist; see help by.


Description

    dlist hybridises describe and list insofar as it lists data and can show
    variable labels too. dlist is best for occasions when you want lists of a
    small number of observations and a reminder of variable labels; otherwise
    it may appear slow and repetitive.

    duplist is a variant which lists any duplicates on the variables
    specified (or by default on all variables) just once.  All the
    observation numbers of any duplicate class are given. The order used is
    the sort order on the variables in question.


Options 

    nolabel specifies that numeric values are to be shown rather than any
        value labels.

    noobs specifies that display of observation numbers should be suppressed.

    name(#) specifies that variable names should be abbreviated to at most #
        characters. As a special case, name(0) suppresses the display of
        variable names.

    varlabel(#) specifies that variable labels should be abbreviated to at
        most # characters. As a special case, varlabel(0) suppresses the
        display of variable labels.

    spaces(#) specifies the number of spaces between columns of output. The
        default is 3.

    notrim specifies that string values should not be trimmed of leading and
        trailing spaces. The default is to show values without such spaces.


Examples

    . dlist in 1

    . dlist in 1, n(0)

    . duplist foreign rep78

    . by foreign: duplist rep78, n(0)

Acknowledgments

    dlist grew out of a question from Miguel Ampudia Fraile.  Martyn Sherriff
    alerted me to a problem with some variables whose names began with
    underscores.  duplist grew out of a question from Holly Wright.  Robert
    Wells found a bug.
