Hi,
I want to loop a tabstat command to compute median income for a number of years using
�forvalues� in a do-file. According to the help function the following should be allowed:
forvalues i = 1 2 5/10 {
tabstat Y`i�, by(country) s(p50)
}
However, I get the following error message:
invalid syntax
r(198);
By the way, I get the same error message using other commands such as sum Y`i�.
forvalues i = 1/10 { ... works perfectly.
Can anyone help?
