obviously it's absolutely essential to be able to create variables only for the currently active subsample. But I'm wondering, is there another (easier) way to generate variables also for the full workfile sample range without temporarily removing and then later re-applying the sample restrictions? Perhaps something like "series mynew = log(income) --full" if you understand what I mean by that.

I like the clever way how it differentiates between non-used and out-of-sample observations after estimations, but it would also be useful to get a binary dummy series just for the active sample without any estimates. Of course a workaround would consist of doing some trivial OLS just to access $sample afterwards...
