Dear all,
I am trying to pass a command to a whole dataset if a variable takes
certain values... For instance I would like Stata to save a file
hola.dat if variable x takes values >1...
I tried
if x>1 {
save hola.dat
}
but at execution Stata doesn't do anything.
Please note I don't want to filter obs. I just want the program to
save the current file under a given name if one of its variables takes
certain values.
The problem is that ifcmd evaluates an exp and the command save
applies to the whole dataset and not to a subset of obs.
Any suggestion how to get at my goal?
Thanks again in advance,
robert
