The "overlapping" is exactly what I want. This is epsecially usefull when your recoded variable is continuous. Thus I do not have to type, for instance - recode varname min/1=1 1.0001/2=2 - or similar (which might be dangerous).
However, my problems still exist even after changing the recode to
recode alter_m min/3=1 4/6=2 7/9=3 10/12=4 13/18=5 19/24=6, gen(alter_cat)
I always get the error
"__000000 already defined
r(110);"
This line does not work, even after restarting or leaving the - generate - part away. This leaves a very straight forward recode with a strange error code.

I'd try it. But note that your intervals overlap, e.g. 1/4
and 4/10. That's not illegal, but I doubt it's what you
want.

I get
"alter_cat already defined"
if that's the case. Same comment about the intervals.
I'm using -recode- of 16 June.
