Dear Statalisters,
try the following in Stata. Why does the change flag not go to 1 after
editing the variable labels with a do-file?
*********
sysuse auto, clear
local change "new"
foreach var of varlist make-foreign{
local vl: var label `var'
la var `var' `"`vl' `change'"'
}
***data should have changed...
qui d
***but have not
di in red "Change flag at: " r(changed)
***now "real" change
drop dis
qui d
***now real change
di in red "Change flag at: " r(changed)
*********
