Hi all,
I use to run this command --renvars bihar gujarat haryana karnataka
kerala / st1-st5-- to rename the 5 states into st1 to st5
respectively and it use to run without any problem. I use stata 8.2.
However, recently I had to reinstall Stata in my machine and had to
install the renvars ado files again (from
http://www.fss.uu.nl/soc/iscore/stata). Now when I execute the same
command it tells me
. renvars bihar gujarat haryana karnataka kerala / st1-st5
/ invalid name
r(198);
Hence I had to take an alternative root to get my work done as follows.
local i=1
foreach var of varlist bihar gujarat haryana karnataka kerala {
ren `var' st`i'
local i=`i'+1
}
Can anyone tell me why -renvars- is not doing now what it use to do before?
Regards,
John.
