Subject | st: Adding a suffix to variables in a local macro |
Date | 09 Jun 2013 17:37:49 +0100 |
Hi, I have a large list of variables, from which I have created a local macro:local commod tea coffee sugar wheat I also have variables in my data set, which refer to specific years, so I have variables tea98, coffee98, sugar98, wheat98 etc
I would like to create a local macro referring to each year, so: local commod98 tea98 coffee98 sugar98 wheat98 local commod99 tea99 coffee99 sugar99 wheat 99 etc.Is there a way to do this, referring to local commod and adding the the suffix "98" "99" etc?
Many Thanks,Gareth
