// use, merge and append share-modules with ease: |
|
// Usage: |
|
* simply type "share" before use,merge and append commands |
|
* replace path with "module wave", e.g. "dn 9", see examples below |
|
|
|
// Setup: |
|
* copy-paste the share-programme in the beginning of your do-file (or in profile.do so that the programme is loaded automatically when you launch stata) |
|
* check the lines with "NB!" below. You will need to make some minor changes to the code in order to update the directories, release numbers etc. |
