Dear all listers:

puzzled by a problem when writing an ado file. Suppose I have
var1 var2 var3 var4 var5......vark, and I want to do the following loop:
*********************************************************************
var1
var2
var3
...
...
...
vark
var1 var2
var1 var3
var1 var4
...
...
var1 vark
var2 var3
var2 var4
...
...
var(k-1) vark
...
...
var1 var2 var3
var1 var2 var4
var1 var2 var5
...
var1 var2 var3....vark
******************************************************************
Basically, what I want to do is like step wise exhausting all combinations in a systematic way from univariate, bivariate, trivariate, to multivariate....Or, I can say for every variable in the variable list, there is indicator variable associated with it. I either take this variable in or out in each run. And there should be 2^k possibilities. I have no idea how to handle that. COuld anyone give me some hint? Many thanks in advance.
