Can someone explain my error please. agecat is not accepting the value labels.

......
. gen agecat=recode(age, 16, 20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80)
(100 missing values generated)

. label define agecat 16 "<16" 20 "16-19" 25 "20-24" 30 "25-29" 35 "30-34" 40 "35-39" 45 "40-44" 50 "45-
> 49" 55 "50-54" 60 "55-59" 65 "60-64" 70 "65-69" 75 "70-74" 80 "75-79"

. label values agecat agecatv

. list in 1

Observation 1

age 20.08487 ... agecat 25
......

Also, any reason for using value labels over replace?

Thanks
