Value Labels. Value labels are descriptive labels associated with data values. Value
labels are often used when numeric data values are used to represent non-numeric
cate
gories (for example, codes of 1 and 2 for Male and Female). You can replace or
merge value labels in the target variables.
 Replace deletes any defined value labels for the target variable and replaces them
with
the defined value labels from the source variable.
 Mer
ge
merges the defined value labels from the source variable with any existing
defined value label for the target variable. If the same value has a defined
value label in both the source and target variables, the value label in the target
var
iable is unchanged.
