Hello Statalist,
Thanks for the help offered earlier. I have yet another problem. This time
I'm writing a program that loops through 99 files and then merge them all
together in the end. I want to create a varible that equals to the value of
the local variable, so that I can tell which file the observation originally
comes from.
e.g. I have:
local i=1989
while i<2000 {
use `i'
gen year=`i'
save `i', replace
clear
}
TIA!
