Listmembers...
I just tried two related commands that I thought should yield
the same result... both should set the generated variable to 1
if -id- contains one of the numbers in -v()-:
. egen sex =eqany(id), v(1 2 7 8 17/22 25 26 39/42 45 46 53/58 61 62)
. egen sex1=eqany(id), v(1 2 7 8 17:22 25 26 39:42 45 46 53:58 61 62)
Note that the only difference (other than varname)
is the use of the colon vs slash in the -v(numlist)-.
The resulting Stata-generated var labels are:
sex: id == 1 2 7 8 17 18 19 20 21 22 25 26 39 40 41 42 45 46 53 54 55 56 57 58 61 62
sex1: id == 1 2 7 8 17 25 26 39 45 46 53 61 62
Unfortunately, the labels properly echo the values of the variables!
Is this an error or a misconception by me?
