Hi Statalist,
If I have two variables with numeric contents, is there any Stata command to
compare them, and get the maximum into another variables?
Example, comparing (elements by elements) var1 and var2, and then creating
var3=max(var1, var2)
Var1 var2 var3
12 32 32
21 12 21
3 32 32
32 12 32
.. .. ..
I think I can write the loop for all observations, but I think that Stata
have this kind of command that I just don't know yet.
Any help? Thanks so much
