As for the first question, what are you hoping to achieve by explicitly
subscripting with _n? The result without subscript should be the same as _n
simply contains the row number of the observation in question. You need to
make the circumstances clearer for the list.
Secondly, put an asterisk -*- in front of anything you intend as a comment.

Subject: st: 2 questions
Hello,
I would like to ask two independent questions:
1. The second of the following two commands return an error message.
But for some other _n it works fine.
What may be the problem?
count if fillq439[_n] == 3850
count if fillq439[_n] == 7000*0.55
2. On the command window, what is the syntax to indicate Stata not to
consider a command line?
For instance, there should be something like if I write the command between
backslashes, stat does skip that line without producing any output?
(like in between /* sum variablename /*)
