hmmm, having just given this answer I am now looking at a program of
mine that I am trying to debug and I seem to run into a problem where
the solution I have just given does not work. Here is a an excerpt from
my trace:
- if `i' == `trans' {
= if 2 == 2 {
- di `eqnsdenom'
= di
- local eqnsdenom `eqnsdenom' `equ'
= local eqnsdenom 2
- di `eqnsdenom'
= di <-- I would have expected this to read: di 2
- local k = `j' - 1
= local k = 2 - 1
- if `choice' == `k' {
= if 1 == 1 {
- local eqnum = `equ'
= local eqnum = 2
- }
- }
- local `equ++'
= local 2
- }
- if `i' == `trans' {
= if 2 == 2 {
- di `eqnsdenom'
= di <-- I would have expected this to read: di 2
- local eqnsdenom `eqnsdenom' `equ'
= local eqnsdenom 3 <-- I would have expected this to read:
local eqnsdenom 2 3
- di `eqnsdenom'
= di <-- I would have expected this to read: di 2 3

Subject: st: RE: new local macro from results of loop
foreach v of local lvstk {
egen `v'nbeg = sum(liv_begnum) if `v', by(houscode qtr)
egen `v'nend = sum(liv_endnum) if `v', by(houscode qtr)
local lvstknos "`lvstknos' `v'nbeg `v'nend"
}
Hope this helps,
