Dear Clint,
I didn't catch it!
For example, I want to know what is the first observation (now by which index) more than mean in a column? I want its index number.
thanks

You can create the index first w/ a system variable, like this:
gen index = _n
The variable, index, should then uniquely identify each observation in
your dataset and can then be used to reference a specific observation.
Type -findit subscripting- (without the dashes) for more information.
HTH,
Clint
