Dear all,

A variable in int storage type, reflecting different regions.

label                             region code
value
11 			A
12 			B
13 			C
21 			D
22 			E
23 			F
31 			G
32 			H

Now I want to generate a new variable with a prefix "1" denoting the
country code. But the variable still carry the codes.
111 			A
112 			B
113 			C
121 			D
122 			E
123 			F
131 			G

How shall I do that with -recode-? Or there are some other commands for that?
