Clone a set of value labels under another name

    labvalclone vallblname newvallblname


Description

    labvalclone clones the value labels with name vallblname as a new set of
    value labels with name newvallblname.  This might be useful if you want
    to use almost the same labels as an existing set, so that you first want
    a copy of the labels, which you can then modify.

    This command uses file, introduced into Stata 7 on 8 May 2001, so your
    Stata must have been updated after that for this to work.


Examples

            . labvalclone oldlabel newlabel
            . label def newlabel 5 "5 or more", modify
