I would like a program to take an option which contains
either a varlist or nothing. Something like
syntax varlist..., myoption(varlist min=0)
which Stata doesn't like. The idea is that -myoption-
only applies to the listed variables in the primary varlist;
unless -myoption()- is specified, then it applies to all
variables in the primary varlist. This sounds confusing
even to me, so in pseudo code, I would like to have
myprogram var1-var10, myoption(var1)
apply the option to only -var1-, but
myprogram var1-var10, myoption
apply the option to var1-var10. Seems like I have done this
before, but it escapes me now. Any ideas?
thanks,
Jeph
