<<TableOfContents>>

----



== Usage ==

{{{
value labels foo
 1 "Yes"
 2 "No"
 /bar
 "Y" "Yes"
 "N" "No".
}}}

Note that [[SPSS/DataTypes#String_Data|string]] variables are checked case-insensitively for value labels.



=== Add Value Labels ===

The `VALUE LABELS` command clears any pre-existing value labels when setting new ones. To instead ''add'' value labels, use the '''`ADD VALUE LABELS`''' command.

{{{
add value labels foo
 1 "Yes"
 2 "No"
 /bar
 "Y" "Yes"
 "N" "No".
}}}

----



== Data Model ==

The `VALUE LABELS` command executes immediately. Pending transformations are ''not'' executed and the active dataset is ''not'' read.
