Dear all,

Can anybody kindly point out why the following code is not working?

	forvalues n=1989 1991 1993 1997 2000 {
		replace waglevl_f`n' = . if waglevl_f`n'<0
		replace waglevl_m`n' = . if waglevl_m`n'<0		
		}

I want to recode all negative values in waglevl_fX and waglevl_mX
where X=(1989, 1991, 1993, 1997, 2000) into missing. But I got the
error message "invalid syntax". Thanks!

Best,
Shige
