Matrix rownames from variable levelsof

[jfca283]

Hello,
I'm writing a code and I need to name the matrix row names with the local created from levelsof applied to var1 (variable 1).
I already created the matrix using as reference a local (levels) using levelsof length.

I tried something simple as this

matrix rownames=`levels'

Stata returned this

type mismatch

However, I can display the local values with

dis `levels'
0101 1005 2006 3008 4010 4132 4565 5567

I need to clarify that the values from `levels' are not numeric, they are strings.
Thanks for your help and time.

You need to say the name of the macro to which you're adding names, eg:

matrix rownames A=`levels'
