There is no intrinsic incompatibility between -for-
and -by:-.
However, I assume, by Statalist convention, that
you are using Stata 9.2. If you are not, then you
should have said so.
In your situation, there is absolutely no reason
to use -for- when -foreach- and -forvalues- are
available.
As several (very (experienced)) posters in recent threads
have emphasised, and also myself,
trying to use -for- really is a very bad idea.
Even the experts will find it difficult to help
you if you go wrong.
