Removing all labels

[Eugenio Grant]

Hi SPSSers…

 

I need to deliver a client my DB, he says he needs to validate the position
of all the variables, I´m ok with this, but I don´t want to give him also
all the value labels, with took a lot of work, and he has no use for them.

 

How can I remove ALL the value labels from ALL my variables (almost 900)
variables without having to do it for every variable, wich implies a lot of
work. The resulting database should have all the variables without it´s
respective values.

 

I would appreciate any help…

 

Thanks...

Brute force :-)

If you have a version of SPSS with the 'Variable View', set one value label to 'None' then copy and paste this into the rest of the variables.
