Problem seems solved but I just wanted to point out that there is no need to loop over observations here. /*---Example---*/ set obs 301 g old = _n sort old // I know it is already sorted g int new = 1 in 1 replace new = new[_n -1] + 5 in 2/`= 305/5' /*---End---*/ Best Daniel * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
