Thanks very much for the help, but I want to show the value set label instead of the assigned code.
For instance if V1 option West=1 is selected, then I want V2="West" not V2=1.
I tried getlabel and write function, am not able to get want I want.

Try this.
Option 1:
In V1 write:
Postproc
V2=getlabel (V1_VS1, V1);
skip to V3;
Option 2:
in V2 write:
preproc
$=getlabel (V1_VS1, V1);
Note: V2 must be alphnumerics with length atleast 5.
