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?
