Your message is barely intelligble, and you are messing up the threads in the archive! Anyway, just -outsheet- your data to .txt. or .csv. Or, in Stata 10, use -xmlsave-...

Dear Nick,

thank you very much for your help.

It is exactly what I was trying to do.

Thanks

Katia

2008/10/14 Nick Cox <[email protected]>:
gen byte istrading = trading == "T"
bysort date (istrading time) : gen dt = time - time[_n-1] if istrading
& istrading[_n-1]

This naturally excludes differences between the last trade of a day
and the first trade of the next day, as did your code here.

I have to costruct a variable for the time elapsed between two trading
(trading=T)

 I have this situation:

Date               time        control    newvariable
02/01/2007   16:50:55        T         165000
02/01/2007   16:50:56        T         165000
03/01/2007   17:02:30        T         170230
03/01/2007   18:30:20        R            .
03/01/2007   18:32:00        T         183200

Now the result that I would like to reach is to have new variable
which has as observations: 0 and 12970, because the first one is the
result of the diff between the first two newvariable, since they take
place at the same time, the second one should be the difference
between the newvariable at time 17:02:30 and the other one at 18:32:00
(since I am considering just the obs with control=T).

I tried to do this:

gen newvariable= time if control=="T"
by sort date: gen newvariable1=newvariable-newvariable[_n-1]

but I don't have the result that i would like to have, since i am
trying to calculate the time elapsed between two trading(control=T).
