If you use the DisplayDict supplemental programmability module (requires SPSS 14 or later and Python programmability to be installed, www.spss.com/devcentral), you can get a textual display of the variable dictionary properties and selected statistics. Statistics can be counts for categorical variables and means for scale variables. These are intermixed with the value label display and go variable by variable.

Hi Govind!
Perhaps you mean:
DISPLAY VARIABLES

SYSFILE INFO FILE = 'D:\TEMP\WHATEVER.SAV'.
