Re: st: Forvalues, syntax error
Dear Neil,
Thank you for your prompt suggestion. I tried your suggestion and I seem to
get an error at the beginning. I have only copied a couple of lines from the
start to the point where the problem is identified.
Do you have any insight as to why the problem occurs? Thank you so much for
your help.
set more off
set matsize 5000
set trace on
set tracedepth 2
use `allsvys1', clear
egen i=group(un_region2 sex_code) if excind!=1 & sex_code!=3 &
total_age_group!=1 & agegrp==0
summarize i
local max1=r(max)
gen error1=.
gen error2=.
save `allsvys', replace
forvalues svy = 1/`max1' {
THIS IS THE ERROR I GET
- forvalues svy = 1/`max1' {
= forvalues svy = 1/. {
invalid syntax
r(198);
Sincerely,
Gauri

Thats quite a bit of code for people to read through.
You could try "debugging" this by using the -set trace on- and setting
an appropriate -tracedepth- and then running your do-file.
Something like...
. set trace on
. set tracedepth 2
. do [your-do-file]
..will be more verbose, and should allow you to see which line is
causing your problem. This would be a lot quicker than others trying
to read through the syntax.
If your not sure why the offending line is invalid post that
particular line as its interpreted to the list and someone might be
able to say what is wrong with the syntax.
Neil
