Generate Variables from the loop

[Daniel Jensen Warwick]

Hello everyone! I hope you are alright. I have a small problem. I would like my code to generate a single value from this loop (according to the num) and then append it to to the l_c variable, i.e. ideally I would have 27 observations in l_c variable. The value that I want to append is `m4', Thanks in advance!

 
gen l_c=.
foreach num of numlist 70/97 {
  local m1 = `num'
  display  `m1'
  local m2= `num'-1
  local m3= m_tot_`m1' - m_tot_`m2'
  display `m3' //Total Change
  local m4= m_re_`m1' * ((n_re_`m1')/(n_kj_`m1'+n_cj_`m1'+n_fj_`m1'+n_re_`m1'))+( m_fj_`m1' *((n_fj_`m1')/(n_kj_`m1'+n_cj_`m1'+n_fj_`m1'+n_re_`m1')))-( m_bu_`m1' *((n_fj_`m1')/(n_kj_`m1'+n_cj_`m1'+n_fj_`m1'+n_re_`m1')))
  local m5= `m3'-`m4'
  display `m4' //Labour Change
  display `m5' //Job Change
  replace l_c = `m4'
  }

I guess

* you have panel data held as variables, i.e. in wide format. or layout

* you're getting confused between variables and locals. and between display and list.

Please back up, and explain your data and your aim.
