Pool object

[tvonbrasch]

Hi,

I have a dataset consisting of the variable px?, where ? goes across 260 countries. How do I create a pool object for those 260 countries (i do not want to manually insert the country codes).

One way of doing this is:
pagestack px?
pageunstack(page=pool) var01 id01

but, there must be a better way to do this?

Could you post the data?

Sure,

If I may ask another question as well. How can I create a pool object that holds only the countries where the variable px has been positive across the sample period (if @min(px?)>1) ?

Code: Select all

%ids = @wlookup("px*", "series") %ids = @replace(%ids, "PX", "") pool p {%ids}

To only add some of them, you'd have to loop through, test the minimum, and only add those that passed the test.
