Re: st: RE: extract rownames corresponding to data as unique codes
Date
Sun, 7 Aug 2011 08:56:48 +0100
I have traced my original suggestion of code to 11 July:
<http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/lwgate/STATALIST/archives/statalist.1107/date/article-409.html>
In that I spell out that Judy's rownames appeared to be all numeric,
so the initialisation
gen rowname = .
would be fine. But if that is not correct, the variable should clearly
be created as string.
gen rowname = ""
