Hi all,

I'm having trouble accomplishing the following:

In a dataset with multiple panels that is tsset, and I have three event variables containing integers in the same scale as the time variable (days); for any given panel either 1, 2 or all 3 of these variables may be missing. I have programmed a routine whereby I repeatedly generate xtline graphs to inspect these panels values, and would like to use the 1,2, or 3 values ( if not missing) in the three event variables as xline() values in those xtline graphs. I have been trying to get the three values into a macro which I could use inside the xline option, but have been unsuccessful. Can anyone suggest how to capture three values of three variables in a single macro? Or, alternatively, another way to get the xtline values I need in a manner that can be automated to reflect the unique values for each panel?

Thanks

Buzz Burhans
