>>I am working on a graph & want to insert vertical lines for various dates, time being the x-axis. It seems xline will not accept expressions or variable names, as I have tried, for example:
>>
>>xline(d(5jan2007))
>>
>>or
>>
>>xline(scan1)
>>
>>where scan1 was previously defined in the .do file with
>>
>>gen scan1 = d(5jan2007)
>>
>The only way I get the thing to work is to have xline(17171), but I don't want to have to look up all the dates by hand. Does someone know an easier way to handle this?
