What Nick meant was,
tab ... if year_f == "2000/1":name
where you should substitute a value label name for "name" in the above
command. That is, the variable year_f presumably has a value label
associated with it -- which is presumably given to it by
gen year_f = ncyear(date_v), m(4)
If you do
des year_f
you will see this value label name. Substitute that in place of name in
the expression "2000/1":name
I hope this helps.
