Thanks to Kit Baum, a little utility -hlist- has been
added to SSC. Stata 8 is required.
This formalises, and extends, some code posted on
this list in response to a question by Stefan Lachenmaier
on 8th March.
Two examples should suffice to give the flavour:
. hlist mpg if foreign
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| obs: | 53 | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 | 59 | 60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 |
| mpg | 17 | 23 | 25 | 23 | 35 | 24 | 21 | 21 | 25 | 28 | 30 | 14 | 26 | 35 | 18 |
|---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------|
| 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 |
| 31 | 18 | 23 | 41 | 25 | 25 | 17 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
. sort weight
. hlist mpg weight in -10/l
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| obs: 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| mpg 14 16 21 14 15 14 21 14 12 12 |
| weight 3900 4030 4060 4060 4080 4130 4290 4330 4720 4840 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The help file also carries a rather gloomy warning:
hlist will be expensive or absurd or impossible with
large numbers of variables or observations. Users are
urged to consider what they are asking.
