I have some results on 236 patients and each patient has 57 recordings stored in a single variable t. I am trying to count how many of these patients have a score of t>0. I tried the following code:
gen tcount=0
forvalues i=1/236{
forvalues j=1/57{
if patient==`i' & t>0 {
then tcount==tcount+1
continue
}
}
}
but the value of tcount never changes from 0.
Could somebody please explain the correct syntax.
Thanks,
Janet
