    label specifies variable label.

    add creates a tlabel from the label + add(string).

    tlabel specifies the tlabel directly.

    shortlabel specifies the clabel.

    vlabel specifies the value label name.

    ctlabel copies label entered to tlabel without any other changes.

    clear clears the existing clabel and {cmdvlabel}.

    note specifies notes for the variable.

    uselabel sets label to existing label. Used to make add and ctlabel work
        without keyboard entry of label.

sex: label: Gender tlabel: Gender (% male) clabel: sex value label: sexlabel
