Rita,
You could use the CopyLabels.Sbs script available in my site
(http://go.to/spss-scripts) in
the Download section. This script can copy variable and/or value labels from one
variabile to another. Both source and destination variables must exist in the
active
datafile.

In your case, the script can be called in the following way:

SCRIPT "CopyLabels.Sbs" ("var1,variab1,VARIABLE").

Hi ListMembers!
I need your help. I have recoded some variables into new variables and I
want to use the same variables labels, without assignig them again by
syntax.
I have var1 'Price' var2 'Product' , recodeded into variab1 and variab2
(with other scale); I wish avoid
VARIABLE LABEL variab1 'Price' /variab2 'Product'.
Any suggestion?
TIA
Rita
