st: How to combine 2 variables with same outcome (yes, no) into 2 values in a new variable |

I am using STATA 8.0
I have asked 115 respondents two different questions:
Q1. Rate the importance of your health: Not important,
Somewhat Important, Very Important
Q2. Rate the importance of your income: Not
important, Somewhat Important, Very Important
And got the following responses:
NotImp(N) SomeImp(S) VeryImp(V)
vHealth(A) 49 31 35
vIncome(B) 63 32 20
Right now I only have 2 variables: vHEALTH vIncome. I
am trying to figure out how to generate 2 new
variables (TYPE SCORE). Type would have two
values...Health Income. Score would have 3
values....NotImp SomeImp VeryImp.
In the end I would like to do a tabulate TYPE SCORE
(to get %). In order for tabulate to work, I need to
create 2 variables: SCORE & TYPE. Score has values
of N S V. Type has values of A B.
I would need to generate 230 responses for my two
values as follows:
TYPE SCORE
Resp 1..49 A N
Resp 50..112 B N (63 responses)
Resp 113-142 A S (31 responses)
Resp 143-174 B S (32 responses)
Resp 175-209 A V (35 responses)
Resp 210-230 B V (20 responses)
Anyone have any idea how to do this...or what I'm
talking about???
Thanks
