hi,
am i the only one who finds the following "feature" of the stata if
syntax parser worrying? (i observed a student doing this and was
expecting stata to correct him...):
/*begin sample code*/
set obs 10
gen x = 1
gen t = _n
sum x if 2<t<5 /*what do you expect?*/
/*further experiments*/
sum x if 2<t>5 /*?*/
sum x if 2==t==5 /*correct?*/
sum x if 2|t|5 /*ok*/
/*end sample code*/
h.
