Subject: st: Adding Multiple Variables with Similar Names
Hi,
I have another basic question for Stata 9. I have about 10 variables
that all end with expend. Is there a command that will allow me to
generate a new variable that adds up all of the expend variables? I know
that there are commands like -drop *expend-, but is there anything that
would add up the variables?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff Rosen
