I'm working on a program that will generate a series of tables for
various academic departments. I want each department's tables to be
together so I've written a fairly generalizable "byable" program as
follows:
>program define neat, byable(recall)
> version 9.2
>
> marksample touse
>
> display "Total enrollment"
> tab newterm if `touse'
>
> display "Total enrollment by credit status"
> tab regcred if `touse'
>
> end
>
>sort subject
>by subject: neat
I'd like to enhance the output by displaying the current subject_value
in the title of each table (the current subject_value is printed at the
top of each series of tables automatically). I've tried a variety of
statements including:
>display subject " subject"
>display `_byvars' " _byvars"
However, I always get the first subject_value, rather than the current
subject_value as indicated by the -> automatic heading.
Does anyone know how I can capture the current subject value and print
it out as part of the program?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
