{title:Description}

{pstd}
{cmd:edit} brings up a spreadsheet-style data editor for entering new data
and editing existing data.  {cmd:edit} is a better alternative to {cmd:input};
see {manhelp input D}.

{pstd}
{cmd:browse} is similar to {cmd:edit}, except that modifications to the 
data by editing in the grid are not permitted.
{cmd:browse} is a convenient alternative to {cmd:list}; see 
{manhelp list D}.

{pstd}
See [GS] 6 Using the Data Editor
   ({mansection GSM 6UsingtheDataEditor:GSM},
    {mansection GSU 6UsingtheDataEditor:GSU}, or
    {mansection GSW 6UsingtheDataEditor:GSW})
for a tutorial discussion of the Data Editor.  This entry provides
technical details.


{marker option}{...}
{title:Option}

{phang}
{cmd:nolabel} causes the underlying numeric values, rather than the label
values (equivalent strings), to be displayed for variables with value labels;
see {manhelp label D}.


{marker remarks}{...}
{title:Remarks}

{pstd}
A tutorial discussion of {cmd:edit} and {cmd:browse} is found in the 
{bf:Getting Started with Stata} manual.  Technical details can be found in
{manlink D edit}.

{pstd}
{cmd:edit}, typed by itself, opens the Data Editor with all observations on
all variables displayed.  If you specify a {it:varlist}, only the specified
variables are displayed in the Editor.  If you specify one or both of
{cmd:in} {it:range} and {cmd:if} {it:exp}, only the observations specified are
displayed.
