Unfortunately I don´t understand the abrevation -in r- in your example but
when enclosing mpg in "" I display the word "mpg". In my problem the
variable prep is a string variable so I should refer to it with "". Then it
works.
New problem
I would also like to post the value of the time-window i (6, 12, 18). I
thought that should be simple but the syntax below (and different
modifications of it) doesn´t work. Why?
tempname resul
postfile `resul' str15 prep time mean lb ub ///
using H:\ANAL\prevalens.dta , replace
foreach i in 6 12 18 {
foreach X of varlist saba_L`i' laba_L`i' {
preserve
bysort idnr (`X') : keep if _n==_N
di " "
di " "
di "`X'"
ci `X' , binomial
local prep `X'
local time `i'
local mean = r(mean)
local lb = r(lb)
local ub = r(ub)
post `resul' ("`prep'") (`time') (`mean') (`lb') (`ub')
restore
}
}
postclose `resul'
preserve
use H:\ANAL\prevalens.dta , replace
list , noobs
restore

The difference between:
*************
sysuse auto, clear
di in r mpg
di in r "mpg"
*************
makes your error clear, I think...

Hi listers,
Below I try to post results to a dataset. Everything works fine but the
variable prep only contain 0´s. I had hoped to find the variable names
saba_L6, saba_L12, saba_L18, laba_L6, laba_L12, laba_L18 in it.
Anyone know what´s wrong with my syntax?
