In the code you have below, the "if" has to be before the comma:

factor wbq91-wbq93 if year == 2005, factors(1) 

Best,
Doug

Dear Martin:

Thanks for your reply. However, stata says  "option if not allowed". It 
has happened before as well that conditionals do not work as option.

factor wbq91-wbq93, factors(1) if year == 2005
option if not allowed
r(198)

Thanks again and best regards,

Tanveer
