Hi,

I would like to run the following loop, where I have a series of variables
produced by a regression containing an interaction of state*popnLn*ttrend1.
"popnLn" & "ttrend1" are continuous variables, but "state" is a categorical
variable. Since the coding for "state" has irregular spacings (1, 5, 16, 20,
23, etc.) the loop fails. Is there a way to make it continue onto the next
loop if, for example, a value of i=2 is not found?

forvalues i = 5(1)54{

    test _Ist`i'XpoXtt

    scalar f`i' = r(F)
    scalar pr`i' = r(p)

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
