Dear list,

I have a dataset with 220 variables. I would like to rename the last 200
variables with a numerical ordered name.
That is, from var21 to var200 I would like to rename them from _1 to
_200.

Is there any way of doing this at the same time for the 200 variables
instead of going one by one using:

Rename var21 _1
Rename var22 _2
.....
Rename var200 _200

Thanks!!!

Sorry, corrected:

Try:

local i=21

foreach var of varlist var21-var200 {
rename `var' _`i'
local i=`i'+1
}
