Re: st: Recode and Label problem

[daniel klein <klein.daniel.81@googlemail.com>]

... please ignore the part I wrote on -replace- -- at least for this
case. Here 1 indicates a "yes", so substracting 1 from the original
variable will not work.

Note that there is no need to use -label drop-, as -label define- has
a -modify- (and -replace-) option that allow you to change exisitng
value labels.

Best

I just wanted to point out a faster
solution

replace <foo> = <foo> - 1 if !mi(<foo>)

will give the same binary indicator, but -replace- (or -generate-, if
you want a new variable) is much faster than -recode- (might not be a
problem in a simple do-file, though).
