Dear listers
I am sure that someone know a smart way to do what I want. :-)
the sort version:
Is it possible to obtain the label associated to a given value?
The long verson:
I am writing a small tabulation program. The user (also me) specify some
of the levels that a kategorical (integer) veriabel has. and for each of
these chosen levels the program produce one line of output.
I would like the line to start with the label associated with the level
and not the integer in my loop.
i.e. something like
program define mytab
syntax varname, ni(numlist ..) ..
foreach x in numlist `ni' {
count if `varname'=�=`x' & ..
di "level yyy:" `r(N)' ...
}
end
where yyy is the contens of the label associated with varname
that corespond to the value `x'
If no label is assigned, then `x' must do.
Hope someone can help me on this one.
Best Lars
