Michael,

what do you mean by "don't show"? -duplicates tag- generates a
variable representing the number of _duplicates_. It is equal to one
in your example, meaning one duplicate:

. list foreign headroom trunk dup if trunk==8 & head==2

     +----------------------------------------+
     |  foreign   headroom   trunk   dup_ad~d |
     |----------------------------------------|
 20. | Domestic        2.0       8          1 |
 57. |  Foreign        2.0       8          1 |
     +----------------------------------------+

. duplicates report headroom trunk if trunk==8 & head==2

Duplicates in terms of headroom trunk

--------------------------------------
   copies | observations       surplus
----------+---------------------------
        2 |            2             1
--------------------------------------

If this is not what you want, please include more detail of what it is
that you want to achieve. In case you want to generate a running
counter for duplicates among your variables, try this:

. bysort head trunk: gen obsno = _n

. list foreign headroom trunk dup obsno if trunk==8

     +------------------------------------------------+
     |  foreign   headroom   trunk   dup_ad~d   obsno |
     |------------------------------------------------|
  3. | Domestic        1.5       8          0       1 |
  7. | Domestic        2.0       8          1       1 |
  8. |  Foreign        2.0       8          1       2 |
 19. |  Foreign        2.5       8          1       1 |
 20. |  Foreign        2.5       8          1       2 |
     +------------------------------------------------+


Hopes this helps,
Eva
