There's an FAQ on such any and all problems.

one way: use -egen- with the "max" function; here is an example:

egen atleastone=max(dummy_member_is_pensioner), by(hh_id)

Dear Statalisters

I have the first four variables in the table below in my dataset, and I wish to generate the fifth variable. This variable should be such that it is equal to 1 for all members of a particular household if there is at least one pensioner in this household. Below is the table with only two households one of which contains at least one pensioner and I wish
to assign 1 to each member of this household. The other household
doesn't contain any pensioner and I wish to assign 0 to each member of
this household.

How to do that???


 hh_id  |   hh_member | dummy_member_is_pensioner  |
dummy_hh_with_at_least_one_pensioner
