String with dates

[tvonbrasch]

Hi

I want to generate a string with the dates when a variable has NA values

If I write

Code: Select all

smpl="2000q1 2010q4 if avvik=na")

I get the sample when avvik is NA. But how can I get the dates of all the NA observations? Frr example, if avvik equals NA in 2000q1 and 2003q4, i want a string with those dates, i.e., "2000q1 2003q4".

Use a loop with the @otods function and @datestr functions
