I tried something on foreach, and I don't see why it doesn't work.
Eg:
. foreach j in 99 00 01 {
2. di "`j'"
3. }
99
00
01
. foreach j in 99 00 01 {
2. su _y`j'
3. }
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+-----------------------------------------------------
_y99 | 0
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+-----------------------------------------------------
_y00 | 0
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+-----------------------------------------------------
_y01 | 0
(I have all _y99 _y00 _y01 as missing values)

Subject: st: 2k problem in forvalues
I would like to use -forvalues- to run loops over the years 84-02. It
works fine from 84-99 but in 2000 I get problems. I have tried to run
the loop 00-02 separately to avoid the "2k flip". The thing is, however
that –foreach- and forvalues- writes 00 as 0 and 01 as 1.
Any suggestions on this?
Hans
