Hi everyone,
I am using Stata /SE 16.0 on Mac . I am using a survey data
My question is :
When i run my code using "keep "command to keep selected variables for my analysis,Stata seems run this command well as i don't see any error messages , But I still get the full number of variables ,which means the total number of variables haven't changed at all.
Here is my code (I directly copied and paste from Stata because i can't submit a png file)
:
