Subject: st: append multiple data sets
I'm trying to append multiple datasets, but "append using" only adds two
datasets at a time. I tried the following program to append "timc1.dta",
"timc2.dta", "timc3.dta"... in one step, but it only appends two datasets.
 
********************************
program define apx
	local i = 1
	while `i'<=10 {
		use timc`i', clear
		append using timc`i'
		local i = `i' + 1
	}
end	
apx 
********************************
I'll appreciate any suggestions on how to accomplish this task.
