Dear Panos,
if you are interested in the row sum of your variables, your code should be:

egen ENG2006_11= rowtotal(EN_WAL_births_2006, EN_WAL_births_2011,
EN_WAL_births_2010, EN_WAL_births_2009, EN_WAL_births_2008,
EN_WAL_births_2007)  

For further details on this handy command - help egen - is the right place
to start.

Best regards,
Carlo

Dear All,
I tried to use the commands: egen, sum on each occasion, but with no
success. 
How best could I get the sum of the variables i.e., X1+X2+...+Xn.
I would appreciate your feedback.

. egen ENG2006_11= sum(EN_WAL_births_2006, EN_WAL_births_2011,
EN_WAL_births_2010, EN_WAL_births_2009, EN_WAL_births_2008,
EN_WAL_births_2007)  --  r(198);

. gen ENG2006_11= sum(EN_WAL_births_2006 EN_WAL_births_2011
EN_WAL_births_2010 EN_WAL_births_2009 EN_WAL_births_2008 EN_WAL_births_2007)
--  r(198);

Kind regards
Panos
