I prefer that the number of each dummy corresponds with the observation:
tmp = (time-1)%$pd + 1
list DUMS = dummify(tmp)
Aren't you assuming that the workfile/sample actually starts with the
"right" obs here?
Anyway, thanks for all your suggestions, but what I really meant was a
function (or command) that mirrors the menu entry like 'genr dummy'
does, not some clever way to code it...
