Use - reshape wide - to produce ss1husband and ss1wife
then
gen ss2 = .
replace ss2 if wife==. & husband==1
replace ss2 if husband ==. & wife==.
I guess this is not the most straight forward method to do this.

Dear friends. Following the procedure asked yesterday I still have doubts:
How can I assign to a wife or husband a value of 3 if the wife or husband
have a SS1 equal to 1. This is a kind of procedure that relates the
condition present in the previous or in the next member of the family:r
rel ss1 ss2
husband 1 1
wife . 3 (assigned with procedure)
or
wife . 3 (assigned with procedure)
husband 1 1
Thanks
Rodrigo
