Thanks, Scott. The code works and it's exactly what I had wanted.
Oliver, your codes look reasonable to me too but when I run them, only
the first obs is filled in with values for the two newly-generated
variables. I will try to figure it out.
Joerg, yes, my weight variables are sorted for each obs, but your
codes are illuminating and I learned from them too.
Guys, thanks for all your help!
Kind regards,
Daifeng
