Hello all,
Could someone attempt to explain this to me? I just can't get over this hump.
local m1= title[1]
local note1 "note" "(" `"" 1 `m1'" "' ")"
local note2 1 `m1'
di "`note1'"
note(" 1 2011" )
di "`note2'"
1 2011
tsline hits, "`note1'"
invalid syntax although if you write it out, it would be tsline hits, note("1 2011") which looks fine
tsline hits, note("`note2'") stata is happy
Thanx..
