Subject   st: creating a panel id variable from strings and decimals

Dear Stata Users,

1. How can I convert city names (strings) to city ids so that I can
use it as a panel id variable?

2. What if there are numerical codes with decimals that correspond to
each city rather than names. How can I achieve the same task above so
that I can create a panel id variable?

In the first case

City
AGB
DFT
EFH
AGB
EFH
...

In the second case

City
4.678
3.456
0.356
4.678
0.356


Thanks in advance for any help.
