Dear Ziad,
provided that I have understood your thread correctly, I tried successfully
what follows (please, see the example below):
-----------------------begin example----------------------------------------
clear
set obs 100
gen weightcat=70 in 1/20
replace weightcat=80 in 21/40
replace weightcat=85 in 41/50
replace weightcat=65 in 51/100
count if weightcat<= 90
count if weightcat >= 80
replace weightcat = 1 if weightcat <= 90 | weightcat >= 80
-----------------------end example----------------------------------------
Hope this helps and Kind Regards,
Carlo
