You do not need the compound double quotes in your first -levelsof-
command...
After the macro substitution, Stata sees -...if inlist(indepvar2,
`""corr_ue", "vol_ue""')...-

Subject: st: -inlist- / double quote problem?
Hi all,
Can someone please help me figure out why the first -levelsof-
statement, below, isn't producing anything? The output from the -di-
statement leads me to believe that the -inlist- portion of the last
statement should give me what I want, but it clearly does not. As you
can see, if I specify the arguments of
-inlist- directly, I get the result I want.
Thank you,
Danielle Ferry
