R implementation of the SPSS VALUE LABEL function. xpssValueLabels creates value labels for specific variables. The values of the label get stored in attributes of the variable.

1 2	xpssValueLabels(x, variables = NULL, values = NULL, labels = NULL, datevariables = NULL, datevalues = NULL, datelabels = NULL)

`x`	a (non-empty) data.frame or input data of class "xpssFrame".
`variables`	atomic character or character vector with the names of the variables.
`values`	atomic numeric or numeric vector containing the values of the variable.
`labels`	atomic character or character vector containing the variable labels.
`datevariables`	atomic date or date vector with the names of the date variables.
`datevalues`	atomic date or date vector containing the value of the date, the values has to be like the old date format.
`datelabels`	atomic character or character vector containing the date labels.

The SPSS variables are stored at the variable itself.
In contrast to xpssAddValueLabels , xpssValueLabels does erase existing value labels.
If the value label for a specific variable already exists, all value labels for that variable get overwritten.
If the value label for a specific variable does not exist, the value label gets created and all existing value labels for that variable get deleted.

A variable can have the following attributes: value.labels, defined.MIS, MIS, varname, variable.label
