Using a local variable to define the range of "forvalues"

[Gio Bianchi]

Does Stata accept a local variable (here, `t') as part of a forvalues command range? As an example:
forvalues t = 1/20 {
forvalues i = `t’/50 {
CODE
}
}

[Leonardo Guizzetti]

Why not try it and find out?

[William Lisowski]

Or try a simple variation

forvalues t = 1/2 {
forvalues i = `t’/5 {
display "t is `t' and i is `i'"
}
}

[Gio Bianchi]

It makes sense! Thank you very much
