Subject: st: Problems with "if X==number" 

Using Stata/MP 11.1, Windows Vista.

Why is my Stata suddenly doing this? Is this something to do with some
obscure Stata setting, or do I have a serious problem with my
installation...

*****************************************************

Code:

sysuse auto
gen test=1 if gear_ratio==3.58
tab test

Output:

. gen test=1 if gear_ratio==3.58
(74 missing values generated)

. tab test
no observations
