Hi All,

I'm trying to add a common term to the existing variable labels of a dataset, "LPI: ", so that the resulting variable labels will be "LPI: overall score", "LPI: logistic score", etc. I'm tried the following code but it does not work. I'm wondering how can I do it.

Code I'm using:
Code:
foreach var of varlist LPI_Overallscore-LPI_Timelinessrank {
    local label_`var' : variable label `var'
}

foreach var of varlist LPI_Overallscore-LPI_Timelinessrank {
    label var `var' "LPI: `label_`var''"
    }
Data I'm using:

Any help is appreciated!
