Hello Friedrich,
I don't know if this is the most efficient way to accomplish your task, but
it works:
levels country, local(countries)
levels year, local(year)
foreach c of local countries {
foreach y of local year {
capture graph bar total male female if country=="`c'" &
year==`y', title("`c' `y'")
}
}
You need the -capture- before -graph bar-, otherwise your do-file will end
as soon as the -foreach- loops generate a country/year combination that
doesn't exist.
Best,
Lee
