Suppose I have 5 states and I want to count the number of children in each
state. How can I do this without generating a new variable. If I do
by state: count if child==1
then r(N) only stores the last state's result.
Thanks.

Subject: using the max command
I have a variable for which I need the maximum element. So, I typed:
egen element=max(var5)
Now, I need to use this value in a for-loop
foreach i=1(1)element {
...
}
but that didn't work. So, then I tried
foreach i=1(1)element[1] {
...
}
to try to pick off the first element of the vector, but that didn't work,
either.
Thanks,
Amit
