Dear statalisters,

Does anyone know whether (and how) I can get Stata to do the following:

I have a variable "materials" which contains a lot of missing and
negative values. Where values are missing, or negative, I want Stata to
take corresponding values from a variable "costmater" and replace them
in the column "materials".

Thanks
Victoria
