Dear All,
Can the -if- qualifier be used with a string variable? If so, how is it done? I gave the following command, and had the shown result:
. keep if facility==bir
bir not found
r(111);

"facility" is a string variable and "bir" is one of the values "facility" takes. Thank you.

keep if facility=="bir"
