Hello,
I was writing the following loop to get the age of each of the
respondent's sibling.
local n=sibnum
forvalues i=1(1)`n'{
gen agesib`i'= 2006-yearsib`i' if yearsib`i' !=.
}
yearsib is the year of birth of the sibling and 2006 is the year of the survey.
if I -tabulate- sibnum, it varies from 0 to 11 at various frequencies.
However the results of the loop above give me:
agesib1, agesib2, ....till agesib5 only not until agesib11 which is
wierd to me.
I am not sure if I am getting this agesib for each respondent or just
the first respondent.
I have the unique individial identifier and other variables.
Could you please let me know if there is something wrong and how to correct it?
thank you very much,
Nirina
