How to consistently rename variables in SPSS

Question & Answer


Question

I want to rename all the variables in my data file - that is, I want to put some sort of constant text, such as "Q" or "VAR" at the beginning of each variable. I have many, many variables in my file. Is there a streamlined way of doing this?
