> Betreff: st: counting the number of nonmissing values in varlist for each observation
> Dear all,
> I need to create a variable which will contain the count the number of
> nonmissing values in varlist for each observation for the variables
> called fammem1, fammem2 etc.
>
> I came up with the following command:
> egen nmbfammem= rownonmiss (fammem*)
>
> The problem is I have two types of variables starting with fammem:
> fammem1, fammem2 etc. until fammem10 (which note one's family members)
> and
> fammem1_liv, fammem2_liv etc. (which notes whether one lives with the
> given family member in the same household or not)
>
> and I only want to create the count of one's family members.
>
> Is it possible in Stata 11 to specify varlist as all variables the name
> of which start with fammem followed by a number between 1 and 10?
> I will be very grateful for advice,
> Sincerely yours,
> Ekaterina
