Details

This function is useful when several or all variables are labelled. Then, by default, in the descriptives tables, the labels appear instead of the variable names. It may be necessary to remember the 'original' variable names in a 'quicker way' in order to be easier to modify some options of the analysis or to change some of the variables included in the tables.
