Abstract: copydesc copies the format of fromvar, any variable label of fromvar, any value labels of fromvar, and any characteristics of fromvar, so that they also pertain to tovar. If fromvar has no variable label, the name of fromvar becomes the variable label of tovar. This is version 1.2.1 of the software.
