st: re: percentiles: correction

[Kit Baum <kitbaum@mac.com>]

If you

pctile pcts = dowclose, nq(100)

it will do what I said it would do.

This program will also handle missings, if / in, etc.

. invpctile dowclose if dowclose < 2000, nq(100) value(700)

. return list

scalars:
            r(pctile) =  30
