Betreff: st: Submitting a command in a couples of pieces
Hi,
I was wondering if you might be able to help me?
I am trying to submit a command in a number of stages.
Basically i want stata to ask me a question, then i want to key the
response, and then i want stata to run a program. It sounds a little
pointless but i am trying read in 3000 odd data files plot them and then
trim the file to the relevant section.
eg.
di "What is the first day of data collection?"
Type 3
di "Day of first data collection = 3"
drop if day<3
I am wondering if this is possible.
i am using stata version 9.2
Many thanks
Adrian
