st: RE: Nested locals?
Focusing on this code:
local n = r(k)
forval x = 1/`n'{
local _`x' `r(c`x')'
di `"_`x'"' // <-- In so I can see if I'm getting it right!
}
Note that once you have defined (e.g.) the local macro with name _1, you
need to refer to the whole of its name within within ` '.
So try
local n = r(k)
forval x = 1/`n'{
local _`x' `r(c`x')'
di `"`_`x''"'
}
The surrounding c.d.q. `" "' are quite independent of de-referencing any
local macros referred to within. `" and "' are both composite symbols
and the fact that they contain ` and ' has no connection to macro
syntax.

I'm trying to take the output from running -dstdize- and derive a
Stata formatted data set.
At present I have the following code (which can no doubt be improved
upon, but thats not why I'm posting)...
/***********************************************************************
**/
/* Start code */
/***********************************************************************
**/
dstdize n pop agegrp, by(pct stage)
using(s:/common/data/stata/europops)
/* Save the results (from the matrix that they are stored in) to a
*/
/* Stata formatted data set
*/
mat define incidence = 100000 * r(adj)
mat define lci = 100000 * r(lb)
mat define uci = 100000 * r(ub)
/* Clear the data in memory and save the matrix of results instead
*/
clear
svmat incidence
svmat lci
svmat uci
/* Reshape and label each of the data points
*/
gen id = _n
reshape long incidence lci uci, i(id) j(site_group)
drop in 1
/***********************************************************************
**/
/* End code */
/***********************************************************************
**/
This gets me the results in the correct format, but there is no
labelling as to which data is which.
Looking at whats returned after running -dstdize- it seems that the
levels of -by(pct stage)- are stored in scalars that I'm now trying to
get at so I can label the results, but I'm scratching my head over
what I'd call nested macro's and have been trying various combinations
of compound double quotes.
The scalars and matrices returned after running -dstdize-......
. return list

r(k) = 84

matrices:
r(se) : 1 x 84
r(ub) : 1 x 84
r(lb) : 1 x 84
r(adj) : 1 x 84
r(crude) : 1 x 84
r(Nobs) : 1 x 84
I'm close but can't get the last step as I'm using the following code
(_before_ the -reshape-)...
/* Save the scalars so that they can be used to derive the categories
*/
/* for each of the resulting statistics
*/
local n = r(k)
forval x = 1/`n'{
local _`x' `r(c`x')'
di `"_`x'"' // <-- In so I can see if I'm getting it right!
}
But this outputs "_1", "_2" etc. instead of the corresponding value of
"`"5PD"' `"."'" , "`"5PD"' `"4"'" etc.
I've tried all variations that I can think of quotes/double quotes,
but none seem to work.
Had a good google but couldn't find anything that helped. I suspect
I'm missing something obvious but would appreciate pointers to any
resources that help solve this.
