My question was obviously misleading. Sorry. I just can't find a solution how to take the value labels of the original variable and use it as a variable label for the dummy variables. I thought there might be a solution in python by using an array (similar to what is described on the SPSS-IBM website - see below).

array=[] while i < FileN: label = spss.GetVariableLabel(i) array.append(label) i+=1 print array

Does something exist like: spss.GetValueLabel(i) ?

Thanks and sorry again.
