Dear Stata-Listers,

I am trying to define income quartiles and then create dummies (for each
quartile).
With the help of the program statsmat I have stored the values for the
borders of the quartiles in a small [1,3]matrix.

But based on this step, how can I construct dummies, i.e. how can I make
Stata compare my income variable to the value in a particular cell of
this matrix ??

( it is the first time I do such a thing and apologize for the
simplicity of my problem)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
xtile qinc= income, nq(4)
ta qinc, ge(q)

Vars q1-q4 are the dummy vbles
