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
