Here is what I would like to do, but STATA does not let me do that.
*create dummy variable for variable yf
tab y, gen(yf)
* figure out how many dummy variables I have created
local ny = r(r)
* Here is the step that does not work
* I would like to create a list including all the dummy variables I created
local vars "yf1-yf``ny' "
