Hi all,
In a loop I meant the variable name is T099`j'. But STATA treat only
T099 as the variable name. I have tried [T099`j'],but it didn't work. I
was wondering if anyone could give me some help.
Thanks a lot!
The following are variable names:
T0990801
T0991301
T0991801
T0992301
T0992801
T0993301
T0993801
T0994301
T0990802
T0991302
T0991802
T0992302
T0992802
T0993302
T0993802
T0994302
I used the following command:
---------------------------------------
local j 0802
forvalue i=1/8 {
g age`i'=2006-T099`j'
replace age`i'=2006-T099`j'-1 if T099[`j'-1]>5
local j = `j' + 500
}
end
--------------------------------------
Stata gives the following error information:
T099 ambiguous abbreviation
r(111);
How should I let STATA know T099`j' or T099[`j'-1] is the variable name
instead of only T099?
Thanks for your kind help!
