VARIABLE LABELS

Each variable can have a "label" to supplement its name. Whereas a variable name is a concise, easy-to-type mnemonic for the variable, a label may be longer and more descriptive.

VARIABLE LABELS associates explanatory names with variables. This name, called a "variable label", is displayed by statistical procedures.

Specify each variable followed by its label as a quoted string. Variable-label pairs may be separated by an optional slash /.

If a listed variable already has a label, the new one replaces it. Specifying an empty string as the label, e.g. '', removes a label.
