Which value of "var" do you want to be the upper limit? The first one:

***
forv i =1/`=mpg[1]'{
di `i'
}
***

Or the last one?

***
forv i =1/`=mpg[_N]'{
di `i'
}
***

Betreff: st: How to make a for "loop" when the counter is a variabe

When I run the following code:

for i = 1/`var' {........
                   }

where var is a variable in the data set.

The code doesn't work. Can you suggest a solution?

Many thanks!
