I don't know how your country variables is coded, but let's assume you
had twenty countries coded 1 to 20, then the following will create a new
variable, cov, that contains the covariance between var1 and var2 for
each country. It's a bit inelegant, but it will at least show how you
can save the covariances.
gen cov=.
forvalues i=1/20 {
corr var1 var2 if country==`i', c
replace cov = `r(cov_12)' if country==`i'
}

Subject: st: How to store the covariance values for further
manupulations
Good day statalisters
Actually I'm faced with a problem, I'm using the command by country:
corr var1 var2, Cov to obtain the matrix variance covariance,
but what i'need is the covariance values to compute sqrt(-2cov), how
can'i do this ?how can'i store the covariance values for my
manupulation?
Many thanks in advance!!!
