     I have another question. When running frequency, I got this in the output:
     
     
     
     Question 1 text
     +-----------------+-----+---------+-------+-------------+-----------+
     |   Value Label   |Value|Frequency|Percent|Valid Percent|Cum Percent|
     #=================#=====#=========#=======#=============#===========#
     |label 1          |    1|        4|  16,00|        16,67|      16,67|
     ...
     
     As you can see, there is variable label, but not variable name.

Right.  This is the expected behaviour.
     
     
     But when ru DESCRIPTIVES command, I got this:
     
     +--------#--+----+-------+-------+-------+
     |Variable# N|Mean|Std Dev|Minimum|Maximum|
     #========#==#====#=======#=======#=======#
     |V1_a    #24|2,79|   1,06|   1,00|   4,00|
     |V1_b    #24|4,46|    ,78|   2,00|   5,00|
     |V1_c    #22|3,27|    ,88|   1,00|   5,00|
     +--------#--+----+-------+-------+-------+
     
     Only variable names (not labels) in output.

This is arguably a bug in the Descriptives command.  Please report it at
http://sv.gnu.org/bugs?group=pspp
     
     My question is: is there any way to add/remove variable names/labels to
     output?
     Something like to have only variable names, only variable labels or both
     in the output.
     
No.  Spss has a SET [OT]{NUMBERS|VARS} = {NAMES|VALUES|LABELS|BOTH} command 
which
does this.  Please raise a wishlist bug if you want this.
