I'm messing around with Stat's putpdf feature, trying to generate simple reports. I want to design a table in the PDF that in one column has a number of variable names (or descriptions would be better) and in the second column, the value of that variable for the specified observation. For example:

For observation 16, the value for variable X is 2, the value for variable Y is 5.5, and the value for variable Z is 16.

Table 1 - Observation 16
Variable Value
X 2
Y 5.5
Z 16

Is there a good way to do this? I thought about transposing the data so the observations are the columns. I did this using sxpose because there are a number of string variables in my data set. When I transpose the data, I lose the variable names and it is difficult to keep track of them. I know there is an option to keep the variable names when using xpose, but that drops string variables in my experience and I cannot have that happen. It would be easiest for me to find a way to display the data without having to transpose it.

Thanks in advance!
