Subject: st: selecting a range
> Hi,
> I would like to know if there is an easy way of selecting a range of data
> from a dataset. For example, I would like to list the study numbers and
age
> of people in my dataset who have the values 0, 6 , 7 , 9 or 500 for a
> particular variable, x.
>
> At the moment I write it out like this:
> list studyno age if x==0 | x==6 | x ==7 | x==9 | x==500
>
> In sas, one could write "not in(0,6,7,9,500)"
> or in spss, ~=range(x,0,6,7,9,500) (or something similar, can't quite
> remember!)
>
> but I cannot find a simpler method in Stata.

> Many thanks
