This is simple, I'm sure, but I can't figure out the answer.

summarize grpa_jumpnmbr
local nmbr = r(N)
forvalues i = 1/18 {
    display `i'
}

summarize grpa_jumpnmbr
local nmbr = r(N)
forvalues i = 1/nmbr {
    display `i'
}

The first code works, but the second doesn't. I would be grateful if someone would explain why not.

Thanks, Morry Hodges
