Re: st: Overriding a loop if 0 observations using tabstat

[sara khan <sarakhanum84@googlemail.com>]

Many thanks for your response.

I just tried this but the output only shows the display results and
nothing from tabstat. Here is the output:

. foreach i in  0 1 2 3 4 5 {
  2. foreach y in male singlet{
  3.  di "Var =`y' & GA=`i'"
  4.   capture noisily tabstat bwtg if myga==`i' & intab1==1 &
admit_ic==1 & bwtg<., stat(n mean median p25 p75 min max ) by(`y')
col(stat) f(%9.0g) notot nosep
  5. }
  6. }
Var =male & GA=0
Var =singlet & GA=0
Var =male & GA=1
Var =singlet & GA=1
Var =male & GA=2
Var =singlet & GA=2
Var =male & GA=3
Var =singlet & GA=3
Var =male & GA=4
Var =singlet & GA=4
Var =male & GA=5
Var =singlet & GA=5
