Good morning,
Could anybody advise me how to translate the following do if-condition from SPSS to STATA? I tried to use replace (but it did not work the way I tried to). Could I use if... else if... else?
Thanx for your help!
Julia

Here is the original spss-syntax:
compute hrolle=caseid/100000.
exec.
do if hrolle<200.
compute hrolle=hrolle-100.
else.
compute hrolle=hrolle-200.
end if.
exec.
do if hrolle<20.
compute hrolle=hrolle-10.
else if hrolle < 30.
compute hrolle=hrolle-20.
else.
compute hrolle=hrolle-30.
end if.
exec.
compute rolle=trunc(hrolle).
exec.
formats rolle (F1).
Exec.
And the failed version in stata with replace:
***
gen hrolle=caseid/100000
replace hrolle=hrolle-100 if hrolle<200
replace hrolle=hrolle-200 if hrolle>=200
replace hrolle=hrolle-10 if hrolle<20
replace hrolle=hrolle-20 if hrolle<30
replace hrolle=hrolle-30 if hrolle>=30
gen rolle=trunc(hrolle)
