I'm working in Stata 8.
Four ways of generating a numlist of whole positive integers are
supposed to be identical, but I'm finding they generate different
results with the same dataset in Stata 8.2.
egen nurshealthtech=eqany(jobnum*),v(088 089 095 097 098 099 103/106 134
206/208 235 446 447)
egen nurshealthtech2=eqany(jobnum*),v(088 089 095 097 098 099 103:106
134 206:208 235 446 447)
egen nurshealthtech3=eqany(jobnum*),v(088 089 095 097 098 099 103 to 106
134 206 to 208 235 446 447)
egen nurshealthtech4=eqany(jobnum*),v(088 089 095 097 098 099 103(1)106
134 206(1)208 235 446 447)
. count if nurshealthtech==1
173
. count if nurshealthtech2==1
156
. count if nurshealthtech3==1
156
. count if nurshealthtech4==1
173
Aren't these supposed to be the same?
Yours anxiously,
Jen Marino
