STATA do files for variable labeling [message #31812]

I recently ran analysis on a number of pooled DHS surveys. I realized I did not run the do files that were downloaded with the dtas from the DHS website. It looks like these do files label variables and variable values and, from briefly reviewing, I think the labels in the raw dta are the same other than capitalization. Is it correct to assume that the variable labels and variable value labels are correct in the raw unedited downloaded dtas? Thank you.
