Apart for these, the other values are all positive so I know that every time there is one of these two specific negative values, they stand for these sentences. Before starting the analysis I should consider both of them as missing values, how can I run a command able to do all this at once? Since the values are "labeled" I guess that Stata would recognize both them if I list as the specific negative value or as label.
