I'm not quite sure I understand, but I take it you want to generate a sample of n iid normal random variables into a variable x. Say n=100. Here it is: a) via the gui: - File -> New data set -> 100 -> (time series) - Add -> Random variable -> Normal -> x 0 1 b) via the cli (console or script) nulldata 100 setobs 1 1 series x = normal() Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Economia Facoltà di Economia "G.
