Re: st: Loop

[Estrella Gomez <estrellastata@gmail.com>]

No, it does not work, because Stata does not recognise BE, the name of
the variable is dBE, but if I say "if d`x' != d`y'", I obtain the same
error message. I have tried "if d`x' != ls`y'" and "if ls`x' != ls`y'"
as well, and I obtain the same error
