st: Adding a suffix to variables in a local macro
Date

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
