st: "too many elements in numlist": -egen anycount(), values(numlist)-

[Mandy fu <mandy.fu1@gmail.com>]

Dear Statalisters,

When I use the following command to count how many variables in the
varlist is greater than 9700 and less than 200710, I got an error
message that says the numlist has too many elements:

------------------------------
. egen  newvar=anycount(varlist), values(9700/200710)

----values() invalid -- invalid numlist has too many elements
r(123);
--------------------------
I was wondering if there's any alternative way to get the total numebr
of variables in the  varlist whose values are in a large range such as
 (9700,200710).

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best,
Mandy
