Without programming the IIF statment {x=IIF(ConditionalStatement),TrueValue,FalseValue}, the easiest way to mimic it would be to generate the variable using the FalseValue, then set the variable to the TrueValue if ConditionalStatement.
Good Luck

Subject: st: Is there an equivalent of ACCESS IIF function in STATA?
Hi,
In ACCESS the IIF function returns one value if a specified condition
evaluates to TRUE, or another value if it evaluates to FALSE:
IIF (condition, value_if_true, value_if_false)
condition is the value that you want to test.
value_if_true is the value that is returned if condition evaluates to TRUE.
value_if_false is the value that is return if condition evaluates to FALSE
I'm looking for a similar function in STATA in order to set a variable to
two different values based on a condition test.
Is there such a function existing? Or, any other easy way to work this out?
Thank you very much.
Weiwei
