hi.
i'm trying to figure out the macro basics & can't seem to find any simple
examples on the web or in the manual. if someone could please post the
text of a simple *.do file that uses macros, i'd really really appreciate
it. i'm using stata 7.
i'd also really appreciate any suggestions on my specific problem that i'm
trying to solve w/ macros:
to take variables (air_reg1, air_reg2, ..., air_reg24)
and (voc_reg1, ..., voc_reg24)
and to produce the sum of the products:
air_reg1*voc_reg1 + air_reg2*voc_reg2 + ... + air_reg24*voc_reg24
for a bunch of different sets of variables ({air,voc} is one example) w/ a
large dataset.
thanks so much!
chris
