Re: st: Working with time series operators and loops in If Qualifier

Uunfortunately for you this is indeed fantasy syntax.
You have to break down
L(1/`x').(abc >= `z'/100)
So you first have to create
gen myvar = abc >= `z'/100
and then do something like this
gen true = 1
forval k = 1/`x' {
replace false = 0 if L`k'.myvar == 0
}
Later
drop myvar true
