I think this is a way, but certainly there are others much better
encode state, ge(id)
tab id, ge(st)
with your dataset this will give
. tab id, ge(st)
id | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
MA | 4 50.00 50.00
ME | 4 50.00 100.00

Total | 8 100.00

Subject: st: Generating dummies
Dear Statalist members,
I have a panel data with each firm (representing a panel) located in a
particular state in the US.
firmid year state var1 var2 var3..........
0001 1992 ME
0001 1993 ME
0001 1994 ME
0001 1995 ME
0002 1992 MA
0003 1993 MA
