Also, Ken Higbee had a Stata tip on using value labels in expressions:
You could use
replace quality =1 if b8=="NO":labelname

See the benefits of reading 33 Stata tips???

(I got lucky on that one - until someone points out my errors in the above!)

Well, if it is a -double- then you cannot match it with a string in the -if-

qualifier. I bet it is -label-led, so look for the underlying numeric code 
for "no" via -ta b8, nolabel- and say

replace quality = 1 if b8==0

(if 0 is labelled "no")
