Yes - the survey rounds are actually appended before you do this procedure, you just aren't treating them as though they were appended when analyzing them. Having them in one dataset allows you to avoid problems with clearing the data in between regressions, and thus clearing out the information saved for the suest comparisons.

So you append the sets together, then run the regressions on each survey-round using an "if" command, then compare the regression results using "suest". That is just the way I have done it, I'm sure there are other ways.
