The call could even be -replace ID = 100 + _n-, w/o the -in- qualifier,
since all IDs seem to follow this pattern.

set obs 350
replace ID = 100 + _n in 301/350
replace Group = 4 in 301/350

 Hello Statalisters,

             I am working with a dataset which has 300 students who are
divided into 4 categories (group is ordinal ranging from 1 to 4). E.g.

 ID                      Group 

101                       2

102                       1

103                       2
......................

399                       3

400                       4


 I want to add 50 dummy students to the dataset and put them into
category 4 in my group variable. What would be the best way to do that?

 Thanks,

   Debs
