st: identifying even & odd numbers

["Danielle H. Ferry" <dferry@nber.org>]

Hi,
I apologize if this has been addressed previously. I haven't found 
anything in the archives, though I feel as though it surely must be 
there somewhere. I am wondering if there is a way to create a new 
variable that takes on a value if another variable is an even or an odd 
number. For example, can you do something like this:
ge newvar = 1 if oldvar is even
If this has made its way thru the list before, perhaps someone can 
suggest better search keywords for the archives? Thanks.
Danielle Ferry
