Dear statalist,
Can anyone spot the mistake with the following snippet of code.
It actually works fine, and recodes and labels the variable
in the way I wish, but in exiting (?) the loops it runs into problems.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
begin snippet==================
foreach x in ajbmspay ajbmssec ajbmswrk ajbmshrs ajbmsflx ajbmsall {
. foreach y in pay security work hours flexibility overall{
. recode `x'(-4 -3 -1=.), gen(a_`y')
. la var a_`y' "Satisfaction with `y'"
. }
}
(5475 differences between ajbmspay and a_pay)
(5475 differences between ajbmspay and a_security)
(5475 differences between ajbmspay and a_work)
(5475 differences between ajbmspay and a_hours)
(5475 differences between ajbmspay and a_flexibility)
(5475 differences between ajbmspay and a_overall)
a_pay already defined
r(110);
end snippet=========================

Kind regards,
Ian
