I may not have been clear enough in my explanation of what I was trying to do.
I'm looping through the whole dataset, but my values for j are only
from 1 to r(max).
Previously, I parsed one of my string variables and created variable
advindividual1 through r(max). So, I am not able to use the -in-
qualifier inside of my forvalues loop since I'm using the values of
duplicate to tell what to replace advisor with.
Thanks,
Conor
