`VARIABLE LABELS` associates explanatory names with variables. This name, called a variable label, is displayed by statistical procedures.

To assign a variable label to a group of variables, specify a list of variable names and the variable label as a string. To assign different labels to different variables in the same command, precede the subsequent variable list with a slash (‘`/`’).
