Dear statalist,

I tried to load two files, make some changes, and save them in one go. However I just could not get it right.
Appreciated it in advance if anyone could point me the correct way.


Code:
global ylist "insurance mutual pension"

foreach file of local "emerging" "advanced" {
    import delimited `file'.csv, varnames(1) case(upper) clear 
    encode COUNTRYNAME, gen(COUNTRY)
    drop COUNTRYNAME
    rename *, lower
    foreach var of global $ylist {
        rename `var' `var'_`file'
    }
    xtset country year
    save `file', replace
}
