Jorge, thank you for the advice. But still no success with the following
code:
local i=1
foreach v of varlist HIP1824Px HIP1836Px HIP1819Px {
graph bar total_episd_amt if LOS>0 & hospital_group=="" &
separation_fy=="2010/11", over (COMPTOT, relabel(2 "Complication" 1
"NoComplication")) over(`v', relabel(2 "`v'" 1 "Other admissions")) title
("Mean episode amount overnight stays, public hospitals 2010/11") subtitle
("`v' with/without complications") name(panel`i')
local i=`i'+1
}
graph combine panel1 panel2 panel3,cols(1)
The error message: "panel1 is not a memory graph"
I checked the graphs stored in memory using graph describe, and only
panel3 is stored.It is not clear to me why panel1 and panel2 have
disappeared.
Any suggestions?
Paul Gross
