Thank you, Nick, I was not even aware of the "recast" option, but comforting
to know that there was someone who did... Stata`s 16 manuals are not easily
digested, to say the least. The array of options is often overwhelming, even
for users who consider themselves above the beginner level...

Betreff: RE: st: Graphing contents of a local?
There _is_ scope for graphing the contents of a local.
The following code shows some technique.
local x = 1
foreach num of numlist 90 95 99 99.5 99.9 99.99{
cii 12 0, level(`num')
local plot `plot' `r(ub)' `x'
local label `label' `x' "`num'"
local ++x
}
twoway scatteri `plot', recast(line) xla(`label') ///
ytitle(upper bound) xtitle(level)

You can't. You can create a "data file" with the upper bounds and plot
that:
*------------------------- begin example ------------------
drop _all
input alpha
90
95
99
99.5
99.9
99.99
end
gen ub = .
local i = 1
foreach num of numlist 90 95 99 99.5 99.9 99.99 {
cii 12 0, level(`num')
replace ub = `r(ub)' in `i++'
}
line ub alpha
*------------------- end example --------------------
