Hi Stata users,

I have been searching for a special command in regard to *forvalues*, but without success.

I need something like:

gen N=_N

forvalues i = 1/N {
...
}

In my case, N is the maximum number of observations in my sample. I do not want to write 22345 or something instead of N because the number of observations might vary depending on how many observations I have dropped before. 

But it is not possible to use N in a loop command at this place.


Are you aware of any stata updates being a solution to that problem?

Do you know a way to program it any better?

cheers
