Subject: st: foreach and globals and {.}
Dear statalist,
has anybody an idea how to solve the following problem?
foreach x in ${out_`year�} {
do something
}
That is: I have several globals and I need the braces to tell Stata that
the local `year� actually belongs to the global name.
Now I would like to run a loop over all elements in the global
${out_`year�}.
But the foreach command gets puzzled with the braces around the global,
since it thinks that this means to start the loop. And this returns an
error that a code follows on the same line as open braces.
How can I separate these braces?
Thanks
Hans
