Dear all,
to check whether my data recoding and selection was done properly I gave
the commands below.
It appeared that none of the cases in my dataset had the combination of
FIRSTCAS equals1 and CLPL not equal to 1, which was great. Thus, after
the "keep" I had an empty dataset, with only the names of all (about 50)
variables. Why than did "display <variable1> <variable2>" give an
answer, and what does it mean?
. dis _N
8200
. keep if (FIRSTCAS==1 & CLPL~=1)
(8200 observations deleted)
. dis CL_NR UNIEKNR
11
thanks for any thougts,
Annelies
