I am writing a code on stata 8 intecooled (win2k), and am running into what
I guess is a syntax problem.
As soon as the code gets to the loop below, it returns :
*yb1 invalid name
r(198);
Te loop is:
while `i' <= `timeunits' {
scalar factor = 10^(`timeunits' - `i')
replace string = string+(`factor'*y`i')
local i = `i' + 1
}
I think the syntax error is in the way I try to multiply each variable (y1,
y2, ..., y`timeunits') by the corresponding factor. The way I am setting it
up seems consistent with other Stata commands that I have used, but I am no
an expert on Stata syntax. I'd appreciate if someone could point out my
error?
Thanks
