Problem to make many commads into a macro

Hi,

I´m a new member on this forum and after reading lots oftherads about mackros wit no results.

I try to run simple data analyse and I would like to keep it simple.

There are few dymmys like:
f f1 f2 f3 f4

Then I can make local macro

local tp f

and run basic_testpattern of many different tests.

tab sex if `tp' == 1
sum age if `tp' == 1
sum age if `tp' == 1 & sex == "male"
sum ege if `tp' == 1 & sex == "female"
.
tab qaly_delta_12 if `tp' == 1 & RR == 1 & sex == "famafe"
.
.
ny

Now I can call this locan macro `tp' to criteria.

But can it be done another way around?

I would like make these 40-80 test lines to be one macro. Then there would be less bosibilities of mistakes. Like:


run `basic_testpattern' when criteria is f == 1


Sorry and thak you.
