st: Forvalues with Dates

["Eric G. Wruck" <ewruck@econalytics.com>]

I have found forvalues to be a huge help & have done things like

  forvalues y=1997(1)1999 {
    forvalues m = 1(1)12 {
      replace amount_`y'_`m' = .....
    }
  }


But my problem is that I actually have to process the last couple 
months of 1996 and the first few months of 2000 as well.  So it 
didn't seem like I could handle this within the forvalues block & 
therefore have to treat those months separately outside these loops. 
Is there a way to go through say November 1996 through April 2000 
with two forvalues loops?

Thanks,

Eric
