Re: st: Foreach nested in Foreach

[Philipp Rehm <Philipp.Rehm@gmx.de>]

I think you get the delimiters wrong, i.e. they are missing in some of 
the lines. You have to either - delimit cr - an remove all of them or 
add them to the end of each line.

Also, the first -foreach- should probably be a -forvalues-.

So, maybe something along these lines (untested):

#delimit cr
su group, meanonly
forvalues i of num 1/`r(max)' {
levelsof bvd_id_number, local(levels)
foreach l of local levels {
local k=1
while `k'<=`year_count' if bvd_id_number==`l' {
replace gamo=gamo + (tax[_`l']-tax[_`k'])*ratio_assets[_`k']
local k=`k'+1
}
} 	
}
