Abstract: Preparation loops through all variables in the varlist and displays a table of contents of each of those variable. Since display of the output breaks after each variable this script makes it easier to control data and labels of the dataset or just to take a closer look at data. The ado also automatically leaves out string variables and displays missing values. Both options can be switched on and off of course. Furthermore it allows to leave out variables which consist of more than a user defined number of rows.{p_end}
