My second question this morning: I'm using logarithmised variables in
regressions. This can be done by generating a new variable:

gen LOGVAR = log(var)
reg outcome LOGVAR

Is there also a shorter way (without creating a new variable)? I.e.
something like this:

reg outcome log(var)



Thanks in advance,

Jan
