Hi,

I think I am trying to nest loops, but not successfully :(

This is a simplified version of what I have:
%x = "rd"
%z = "go"

for %j tot p
q_us{%z}{%j}_{%x}.label(S) BEA
for %k gdp private
q_US{%z}{%j}_{%x}.displayname US, GO $2009, {%k}
next
next

Ultimately, I want the label 'source' (S) for 'tot' and 'p' to be the same, but the display name should differ - 'tot' should correspond to 'gdp' and 'p' to 'private'. However, when I run this, 'private' shows up as the display name for both.

Can someone help, please? Thanks!!

You can't do what you want with two loops.

I think I would do it this way:

Code: Select all


%x = "rd"
%z = "go"

%js = "tot p"
%dnames = "gdp private"

for !j = 1 to @wcount(%js)
%j = @word(%js,!j)
%k = @word(%dnames, !j)
q_us{%z}{%j}_{%x}.label(S) BEA
q_US{%z}{%j}_{%x}.displayname US, GO $2009, {%k}
next
