Dear all,
Im using drop if to drop several observations, about a
100. I try using the following but receive an error
message:
. drop if Incident=="x132a" | Incident=="x355a" |
Incident=="x132b" |Incident=="x354a" |
Incident=="x353a" | Incident=="x353b" |
Incident=="x355b" |
invalid syntax
r(198);
but when I drop one by one it works:
. drop if Incident=="x132a"
(41 observations deleted)
. drop if Incident=="x355a"
(26 observations deleted)
Anyone knows why I cannot use "|" in this case?
thanks,
Gaby
