Betreff: st: RE: status of -ds- command

I think the suite of extended macro functions would replace most (?all) of
what -ds- does, but old habits die hard so I often use -ds-.

In Raoul's case, use of the  format <varname>  extended function (in a
-foreach var- loop) would do the job, assuming variables had been formatted
appropriately.

Subject: st: status of -ds- command

Greetings

   The question from Raoul raised a question for me. I have noticed that 
the -ds- command is no longer an official part of Stata (as of version 
9). The -ds- command is amazing in how powerful (yet simple) it is. Does 
anyone know why -ds- is no longer "official"... has it been replaced by 
something else I am not aware of?

Many thanks,

Michael N. Mitchell
