Hi all,
Is there something like inlist which does not require that all arguments
exist? I would like to keep observations where varname = a or b or c or d or
... But it could be that varname never takes the value of d. Another issue is
that my list of arguments is v. long (~145), so a simple or statement is not
possible. I found a stata faq that suggested using inlist, but this doesn't
like it when one of the arguments in the list doesn't exist, and my varname is
a string, so I'd have to write many of these inlist statements (b/c the limit
is 10).
Thanks.
