Dear all I am having access to stata 10 and working with National Sample Survey Organisation (India) data. In this data set I have level wise data and within each level there are item codes. Now I have to break the level data at item wise and then merge it to have information for all the required variable. I can use do file and repeat "keep if" command but would like to ask is there any other way to do this boring job as I have to do this for different levels. For convenience I am giving sample of the do file use "level3_list.dta", clear keep if item_code==309 ren item_code item_code_manu ren asicc_code asicc_code_manu ren unit_quantity unit_quantity_manu ren quantity quantity_manu ren value value_manu sort common_id save "item309.dta",replace like wise for different item codes Thanks Prakash * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
