Abstract: Data management tasks include manipulating variables, variable labels, and value labels. While Stata has versatile commands and functions to address the first task, managing variable and value labels is not as convenient. In this article, I introduce a new command, elabel, that enhances the capabilities of Stata’s label commands. I discuss these enhancements using various examples. I also demonstrate how to add new commands to elabel.
