    ^lbleqrnk^ varname [ , ^s^uffix^(^suffix^)^ ] 
.

Description
-----------
.
^lbleqrnk^ takes a numeric variable and assigns to it value labels for 
integers 1 to _N that are each integer followed by a suffix (default ^=^) 
whenever the variable takes that integer value more than once. This is 
intended for use with any variable containing ranks -- as usually shown 
in sport, say -- for which we want ranks to show as ^1=^ (for example) 
whenever two or more values have the same rank.
.
^lbleqrnk^ is intended for use with the ^egen^ functions ^rankf^ and 
^rankt^ as defined in ^_grankf.ado^ and ^_grankt.ado^. 
.
.
Examples
--------
.
    . ^egen rankf = rankf(throw)^
    . ^lbleqrnk rankf^
    . ^lbleqrnk rankf, s(" (tied)")^
