Display full, unabbreviated variable names in data editor

[Gupta Shweta]

How do we display full variable names in data browser? My variable names are very long and most of them start with the same initial few letters, so they get abbreviated in the editor and i just cant see the full name unless i click on it. I want to view them full, without editing their format.

For eg: totaldepreciationrs is shown as totaldeprecia~s

Thanks,
Shweta

You have to change the display format of the variables themselves, giving them a width that is large enough to accommodate the variable name. The data editor sets the width of the column based on the display format of the data, not on the length of the variable name. -help format-.

Hi Clyde.
That's what i asked in the first place that if there is a way by which i dont have to edit the format of all variables (which are a bit large in number) and still see full variable names. Thanks, anyway.
