Betreff: st: RE: Re: re: counter variable
If the data have been -tsset id schlyr- and -tsspell- has been
downloaded from SSC then
tsspell, fcond(newprinc == 1)
is enough. This creates three new variables, of which _seq is the
counter desired.

You have to hand it to all contributors here, though, that this is not
your
everyday, apply-bysort-straightforwardly-and-look-at-Nick`s-column-
in -the-SJ-carefully problem (see
http://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.html?articlenum=pr0004). The fact
that
you want this thing sorted, but not counted, by schoolyear and counted,
but
not sorted, by the new dummy, makes this quite involved, and despite my
best
effort, I cannot find a one liner for it that does not make extensive
use
of -cond-. So kudos to Eva for her two liner :-)
