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
Bastian M Steingros
