Nick here is the command i used suggested by you. Thanks for your patience!
Cheers
use data, clear
destring sla,replace
qui dstdize deaths pop sex agegp, by(sla) using (t0)
drop _all
return list
matrix C = r(crude)', r(adj)', r(lb)' , r(ub)'
svmat C, names(col)
gen rowname = .
qui forval i = 1/95 {
replace rowname = r(c`i') in `i'
}
Whether i destring sla or not, it doesn't make any difference. So the
error message happened after forval loope.
Cheers
Judy
