Thanks Nick for your tip on "capture", I modified my loops as follows:
forvalues X=1(1)8 {
forvalues Y=1(1)6 {
di "Testing Symptom `Y' in session `X'"
capture kap m`Y'1 m`Y'2 m`Y'3 m`Y'4 if session==`X'
if _rc==0 {
kap m`Y'1 m`Y'2 m`Y'3 m`Y'4 m`Y'5 m`Y'6 m`Y'7 m`Y'10 if
session==`X'
}
}
}
All the best,
Amani
