Dear list
I have an idea for a small "program" but have no idea where to even start.
I am doing some data cleaning which primarily lists suspect cases.
Some of the tables are long and span multiple pages. I want to be able
to repeat the header (variable names) on the next page. Since I am
mainly inserting the log files into an MS Word document, I know that
17 rows would fit nicely on a landscape A4 page.
So, how do I
1. List a maximum of 17 rows per page
2. Continue the listing on the next page carrying over the header information
3. (as a bonus, I would like to add a line -continued- if the table is
spanning. This is not necessary but would be a useful addition)
See illustration below
In essence, this would be the Stata version of the LaTeX longtable package.
