Happy Friday Statalisters:

I just noticed that "adjust" will not take a string variable in the
"if" statement. Is this intentional? I can't imagine why it would be.

. adjust anycontact=1 "`list2'" if  beach=="HB", by(anycontact 
m_l10count_dy) se gen(swim2) pr  nokey  noheader

HB not found
r(111);

. encode beach, gen(beachnum)


. adjust anycontact=1 "`list2'" if beachnum==1, by(anycontact 
m_l10count_dy)  gen(swim3) pr  nokey noh
> eader
