Re: st: How to generate a variable out of an empty dataset?

[Timothy.Mak@iop.kcl.ac.uk]

That's it. Thanks. 

set obs 1000
gen var = uniform()

will get me 1000 uniformly distributed variables from which I can create 
my binary variables. 

Thanks, 

Tim

Could the problem be that you did not set the number of observations
for your empty data set? Try running "set obs 1000" before the
drawing.
