Subject   st: code skips based on conditions
Date   Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:28:56 +1000

Hi Statalisters

I am running some foreach tabulate loops the results of which are accumulat ed by matrix commands. (see code below).
 I would like skip (at the point *** in the code) to the next level of local levels based on a conditional test of the number
of observations contained in the scalar e(N) which is returned after each tabulated combination of the foreach variables.
Have not been able to find anything (or even a lead) that could help me do this.

Any suggestions or ideas of how to go about this would be much appreciated.

thanks
Darren

scalar Ppn=3De(N_pop)
scalar Ndenom=3De(N_psu)
scalar def=3De(df_r)
scalar r=3De(r)
matrix c=3De(c)
matrix rt=3Dr*c
scalar rtot=3Drt[1,1]
//Matices with constant values across the tabulation
matrix temp=3DJ(rtot,1,1)

matrix geog=3Dg*temp
matrix N=3DNdenom*temp etc etc etc....
