Dear All,

I'd like to confirm whether there is any syntax that would allow me to prescribe variable labels in the generate's syntax, something like hypothetical:
Code:
generate balance=income-spent, varlabel("Balance at the end of the month")
The documentation for generate suggests that one can prescribe the value labels immediately in the same syntax, but is silent about the variable labels.

If it doesn't exist yet, would be good to have it some time in the future.This would help quite a bit making the programs shorter and more documented.

Currently one can do that in 2 statements, but that requires retyping the name of the variable and may be spaced out in the code:
Code:
generate balance=income-spent 
variable label balance "Balance at the end of the month"
Thank you, Sergiy Radyakin
