Thanks
Exploring your suggestion but wanting to put the checks in a macro rather than a variable, however,
I am stuck (I have checked the archives but I cannot find a solution)
An illustration using the auto data
local x "foreign == `i' & rep78 == `j'"
sysuse auto, clear
levelsof foreign, local(source)
foreach i of local source {
levelsof rep78 if foreign == `i', local(rep)
foreach j of local rep {
sum mpg if `x'
}
}
I have set the trace on and this is where it fails
- sum mpg if `x'
= sum mpg if foreign == & rep78 ==
Looks like the `i' and `j' disappear. I have fiddled around with different combinations of quotes
but no luck.

where x, y, z are some conditions to be met. Then you would list them, i.e.
list fup_pdt fup_unit if check==1
And you'll know they aren't good at all.
