Betreff: st: forval with value of variable
Dear all,
I want forval to loop over the (min) value of two variables. More
specifically, there is a variable called start_year and another called
end_year and what I want is something like this:
forval x = start_year / end_year {
.
.
}
The variables have all the same value but i want to repeat the same
codes across different samples that have varying starting and ending
years. This is why I don't want to put the years in numbers as this
would create a lot more work.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.
