Re: st: RE: Function to assign a value label to a global marco

["Lars E. Kroll" <lars@climweb.de>]

Thank you Thomas & Fred,

Sorry, I didn't answer but I got that function right after  Fred's hint 
to h extended_fcn ...

Lars

P.S.
Here's my Code which draws an bar chart if someone is interested in it:
outcome is a probabolity and uvar is 0/1 coded
[snip]
foreach outcome in Y1 Y2 {
 foreach uvar in X1 X2  {
  gen outcome1 = `outcome' if `uvar'==1
   global label1 : label (`uvar') 1
  gen outcome0 = `outcome' if `uvar'==0
   global label0 : label (`uvar') 0
  graph bar (mean) outcome1 outcome0 [pw=phrf] if jahr==2003, ///
   over(`uvar' , label(nolabels)) ///
   over(alter_gr4) outergap(25) bargap(-90) ///
   ylabel(0 "0%" .10 "10%" .20 "20%" .30 "30%" .40 "40%" .5 "50%" ///
          .60 "60%" .70 "70%" .80 "80%" .90 "90%" 1.0 "100%" , 
angle(horizontal)) ///
   xsize(3.9375) ysize(2.95) scheme(lean2)  bar(1, fcolor(navy*.6)) 
bar(2, fcolor(navy)) ///
   legend(order(2 "${label0}" 1 "${label1}" )textfirst cols(2) 
position(6) symxsize(medium))
  graph export 
"${arbeitsverzeichnis}Grafiken/deskriptiv/`outcome'_`uvar'.eps", replace
  drop outcome*
  }
}
