This is simple, I'm sure, but I can't figure out the answer.
summarize grpa_jumpnmbr
local nmbr = r(N)
forvalues i = 1/18 {
display `i'
}
summarize grpa_jumpnmbr
local nmbr = r(N)
forvalues i = 1/nmbr {
display `i'
}
The first code works, but the second doesn't. I would be grateful if
someone would explain why not.
Thanks, Morry Hodges
