Abstract: chardef is a mass-production version of the char define command. It assigns a list of values to a named characteristic of a list of variables specified by a varlist. If the varlist is not supplied, then chardef assigns the values to the named characteristic for all variables in the dataset currently in the memory. If the named characteristic is not supplied, then the values are assigned to the characteristic varname, used by the list command. If the list of values is shorter than the varlist, then the list of values is extended on the right with copies of the last value. Optionally, a prefix and/or a suffix may be added to the values.
