completely eradicating value labels

[TinyTina]

Hi everybody,

I have a data set with 1000s of fields with a constant numeric code ("0")
and a corresponding constant value label ("No data"). I do have to remove
code and label in these 1000s of fields -completely-, otherwise CTABLES will
still display the "0" value. And we cant have that.
In Oct 2008, Jon Peck mentioned a ValueLabels property of some
spssaux.VariableDict object to completely eradicate the value labels.
Or you yo have sth more handy up your sleeve?

Thank you very in advance!

Have you tried:

VALUE LABELS ALL.

Just that, with no defined value labels.

Alternatively, you could make 0 missing:

MISSING VALUES ALL (0).
