***********
if inrange(rank,1,1000)

is the correct syntax.

Thanks a lot for your help. I think I get the principle. But when i
try doing the regression
" xtreg credit assets repo" and try to add the "if rank=1/1000" e.g.
im getting syntax error.
what is the right way do the conditionary part?

Regards,
David
