The local macro is misspecified in the forvalues loop. Specify your macro
like this:
`i'
rather than like this:
'i'

Subject: st: further on the weighted average
I wrote the following command lines accoridng to the help file.
use ki00_wgt;
egen group=group(site_id);
compress group;
gen wtmean=.;
qui forvalues i = 1/196 {;
su po4c [w=rsp_wgt] if group == 'i';
replace wtmean = r(p196) if group p == 'i';
};
Now I got the error message that i is an invalid name. What should I make
of that?
Thanks,
Carol
