Hey Joseph,
Here is what I entered:
for each var of varlist q13brep q13crep q13drep
q13erep q13frep q13grep q13hrep q13irep q13jrep
q13krep q13lrep q13mrep (enter)
and I get an invalid syntax...
for each will return invalid syntax since the command is -foreach-
without a space. You are also missing an opening bracket '{'. See
-help foreach- for correct usage.
I have tried this:
local vars " q13brep q13crep q13drep q13erep q13frep
q13grep q13hrep q13irep q13jrep q13krep q13lrep
q13mrep"
foreach v of local var {
label values ???? replabel
}
Two problems with the above, firstly since var is a local macro it
needs to be put in single quotes `var' (note that the first single
quote is usually located to the left of the 1 key on most english
keyboards).
Secondly ???? should be v again in single quotes.
Joseph's examples works fine if the syntax is followed (whilst
substituting in your variable list and your chosen labelname).
Refer to the help pages for -foreach- and -local- for further
clarification. There are also useful sections in the User and
Programming manuals (although I don't have copies of either to hand so
can't advise which sections).
