Noting Richard Williams' caveat, and just
focusing on the question, it can also be
done without loops:
set obs `=26 * 35'
egen x2= seq(), to(35)
egen x1= seq(), block(35)
gen x = real(string(x1) + string(x2))
-egen- haters can do it without any interpreted
code:
set obs `=26 * 35'
gen x1 = ceil(_n/35)
gen x2 = 1 + mod(_n-1, 35)
gen x = real(string(x1) + string(x2))
and that could be telescoped further.
