st: Creating a variable with gaps

["Johan Hellstrom" <johan.hellstrom@pol.umu.se>]

Dear statalisters,
 
For graphing purposes I need to create a (filter-)variable that assign a
value to every 1.000 observation (in total there is about 80.000
observations). Although it could be done manually, can anyone tell me how to
do this automatically?

Best,
Johan Hellstrom
