Dear all,
Stata 8.2,
I wanted to do this:
edit if plannedsx!="" & modalit==""
i.e. i wanted to edit those where plannedsx are not missing but where modality are missing
and received this message:
type mismatch
r(109);
The variables descriptions are:
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
plannedsx float %9.0g planndsx
modalit byte %1.0f electrosx
Questions are:
1. How I can achieve what I wanted to do?
2. I would appreciate confirmation of this situation: I tried another edit with if and & using another conditions and variables, these few attempts returned the same type mismatch error r(109) - so I presumed edit with if and & is not a legal syntax.
Thank you for advice & help,
bw
