Other way of doing it, supposing each identifier is <= 99:

gen id = house*1000+family*100+individual

By doing it this way you can tell to which house and family a specific person belongs to. If your data was not sorted by the identifiers, if you sort by this new identifier the result will be equal to sorting it by all identifiers. If your final id is large: gen double id...

If your identifiers are greater than 99, adjust the multipliers.

Rafael

I'll answer this myself:

1. Don't do that. Use -egen, group()- with the -label- option.

2. See also

3/01 How do I create individual identifiers numbered
from 1 upwards?

3. If you really must, look into -egen, concat()-, including
its options.

 How can I generate an identifier from three variables?
In my data I have a column for the house, one for the family
and one for the individual

example:

house     family   individual
1                 1         1
1                 1         2
1                 1         3
2                 1         1
2                 1         2
...

and I would like to know how can I create an identifier per
individual such as:

individual
010101
010102
010103
020101
...
