Subject:      Different time periods used in a Macro
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-7"

Hi,

I am using a macro to run some procedures from year 1999 to 2002. All the
procedures for this period are on a yearly basis.However I would like to
make the same macro to repeat exactly the same calculations for the period
1-1-2003 up to 1-11-2003 as well.

I am using:

DEFINE !SPLIT().

!DO !YEAR=1999 !TO 2002.

get file='D:\Home\TOTUWGT99.sav '.

*** CALCULATE INITIAL & END DATES  *****.

COMPUTE #ONEDAY=24*60*60.

COMPUTE BEG1=MAX(DATBEG, DATE.DMY(1,1,!YEAR)).

COMPUTE END1=MIN(DATEND,DATE.DMY(1,1,!YEAR+1)).

******** *******   ********* ************** *********************

!doend.

!enddefine.

!split.

How could I add the extra 11 month period of 2003 to the above macro?

Thanks in advance.
