This code is legal and works:
. gen winsor = .
(1031 missing values generated)
. forval y = 1976/1984 {
2. winsor emp if year == `y', h(1) gen(temp)
3. replace winsor = temp if year == `y'
4. drop temp
5. }
I can't comment usefully on what you're doing
wrong without seeing what you typed.
FAQ: "Say exactly what you typed and exactly what
Stata typed (or did) in response. N.B. exactly!"
