Subject:      how to create a repetitive compute over a series of variables.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Dear list, I have the following variables that I want to do the
following with.

compute a=(na1*ma1 + na2*ma2)/(na1 + na2).
compute b =(nb1*mb1 + nb2*mb2)/(nb1 + nb2).
compute c =(nc1*mc1 + nc2*mc2)/(nc1 + nc2).
compute d =(nd1*md1 + nd2*md2)/(nd1 + nd2).
etc.

na1 ma1 na2 ma2 nb1 mb1 nb2 mb2 nc1 mc1 nc2 mc2 nd1 md1 nd2 md2 etc.

Suggestions appreciated.    thanks

Martin Sherman
