Date   Wed, 13 Oct 2004 15:37:22 +0200

Hi:
I have one variable with quarters q (1-4) and one variable with years y (1950-2004), which I would like to combine into one single variable newvar that has the values 1999Q2 if y==2 and y==1999.

Is there any straight forward command for this?

Thanks in advance

Hans
