+# Title
+
+__lbl_assert_var_have_lbl__ - List variables without a variable label.
+
+# Syntax
+
+__lbl_assert_var_have_lbl__ [varlist]
+
+# Description
+
+For small data sets, visual inspection can identify variables without a variable label. For larger data sets (or repeat encounters with data sets), it is better to have a tool variables, if any, that remain without a variable label. 
+
+This command does that. If any variables without variable labels are found, it returns and error and lists which variables are missing variable labels. If all variables have variable labels, it reports this fact. In this way, the user knows whether action is needed, and for which variables.
+
+By default, the command combs over all variables in memory when compiling a list. By providing a variable list, users can restrict the scope of the search to the user-specified range.
+
+# Examples
+
+```
+* create set of variables
+gen var1 = .
+gen var2 = .
+gen var3 = .
+gen var4 = .
+
+* apply variable labels to only some variables
+label variable var1 "Some label"
+label variable var4 "Another label"
+
+* assert that all variables have variable labels, globally
+lbl_assert_var_have_lbl
+
+* assert that all variables have variable labels, in the varlist
+lbl_assert_var_have_lbl var3 - var4
+```
