Test for if two locals have the same elements not working

[Bhargav Poudel]

Hello,

I am trying to see if two lists that I have stored in some locals have the same elements or not. I used

levelsof iso_o, local(a) clean
levelsof iso_d, local(b) clean
local x: list a === b
di `x'

and I was expecting to get an output of 1 because the lists are actually the same. However, I got a 0. Then I tried the following.

local p "b" "a" "c"
local q "a" "b" "c"
local r: list p === q
di `r'

I believe that the output should be 1 because the list is equivalent if the order of the elements doesn't matter, but the output I am getting is 0. Can you please help me with this?

Thank you.

I apologize for this, but now I realize that that is not the correct way to make a list using local. I have figured this out now
