VALUE LABELS option in LIST, PRINT and WRITE

[spruce18b]

I can't find an option in LIST, PRINT, or WRITE to output value labels in place of values. For example, with these procedures,  in outputting the variables id, sex and drink, instead of

0001       1     3

I want

0001       male     beer

Thanks, Bill

Look at the VALUELABEL function. Below is an example from SPSS Help.
Since the contents of labelvar are a string variable, you must first declare
labelvar on the STRING command.

VALUELABEL function
VALUELABEL. VALUELABEL(varname). String. Returns the value label for the
value of variable or an empty string if there is no label for the value. The
value of varname must be a variable name; it cannot be an expression.


Example
STRING labelvar (A120).
COMPUTE labelvar=VALUELABEL(var1).
DO REPEAT varlist=var2, var3, var4
         /newvars=labelvar2, labelvar3, labelvar4.
- STRING newvars(A120).
- COMPUTE newvars=VALUELABEL(varlist).
END REPEAT.

You can do this with SAVE TRANSLATE writing to a text file in various formats: /CELLS=LABELS.

Take a look at REPORT (under Analyze - Reports in the GUI).
