Dear Terri,

Could you try this:

egen rowsum=rowsum(seq*)
egen byte minmath = rowmin(seq*) if rowsum~=0

Please note that minmath is greater than zero iff ALL scores for this
observation is greater than zero.

Hi Michael,

I believe the condition that rowsum not equal zero would take care of
that. Do you have a thought about this conditionality that I'm missing?

egen byte minmath = rowmin(mathseq*) if rowsum~=0

Thanks,
Terri
