for loop and group

[Katjes]

Hi, assuming that I define in for-loop several procedures. Then I want to group the outcome, including all countries as in the for-loop
simple example:
for %c USA GER
genr yoy_{%c}= GDP_{%c}-GDP_{%c}(-1)
next

and the next step should be something like:
group GDP GDP_{%c}
where all series defined in %c should be included, hence group GDP GDP_USA GDP_GER

Do you have some suggestions?

Not sure I follow exactly, but I think this is what you want:

Code: Select all

group GDP

for %c USA GER
genr yoy_{%c}= GDP_{%c}-GDP_{%c}(-1)
gdp.add gdp_{%c}
next
