Thanks Martin, Levy and Eric for the help.

In the code you have below, the "if" has to be before the comma:

factor wbq91-wbq93 if year == 2005, factors(1)
Best,

Dear Martin:

Thanks for your reply. However, stata says "option if not allowed". It has happened before as well that conditionals do not work as option.

factor wbq91-wbq93, factors(1) if year == 2005
option if not allowed
r(198)

Thanks again and best regards,

Tanveer

Instead of -keep-ing the year 2000:

***
webuse bg2, clear
gen year=2000*(_n<200)+ /* */ 2001*(_n>=200) qui factor bg2cost1-bg2cost6 /* */ if year==2000
predict var1
***

and off you go...

Betreff: st: Keeping variable After restore
Dear Stata-listers:

I want to generate a variable during (preserve - restore) and want to use that after restoring the data. When I will restore data the variable will be dropped automatically. How can I keep the variable?

The data is time series and a simple version of my program is as follows:

preserve
keep if year == 2000
factor x1 x2 x3
predict var1
restore

gsort -year
replace var1= var1[_n-1] if var1 >= .
xtset country year
xtreg dep var1 controls

The problem in this program is that after restoring the data I will not have var1 anymore. What can be a possible solution?

Thanks and best regards,

Tanveer
