Not sure what "for each.." is supposed to mean. If you want agreement in
terms of the values of one of them,

*********
clear*
set obs 10000
g a =runiform()<0.7
g b =runiform()<0.7
g dummy=a==b
*see examples
l in 1/100
*********

If you want to turn one variable into two along the lines of group
membership, - separate- might be handy...

Subject: st: finding duplicates in two groups

Dear Statalist members,
I have a dataset containing survival data, in which exposure groups 
are A and B.

I wish to find records in group A that share the same values in group 
B, for each of several fields:
	age
	date of diagnosis
	date of death

I have studied the commands dups and duplicates but don't see how 
they can handle finding values from two different groups sharing the 
same values. I'd appreciate any suggestions or pointers.

Best wishes,
Michael McCulloch
