Robin may want to dig into Nick`s canonical reference for these problems,

Also note that not every problem in connection with the "other members" of a
family is as easily solved as this one:

Betreff: st: Simple loop problem?
Hello. I am using Stata 9. I have what seems like a simple coding
problem but can't figure it out (I'm a relatively new Stata user). I
believe the solution lies in the foreach/forvalues commands, but can't
seem to come up with a solution.
I need to recode a person-level variable based on whether other people
in the household have the same characteristic. Specifically, I want to
recode the variable hh_3 with the value of 1 (1=the person lives in a
three-generational household) if anyone in the household already has
hh_3=1. I want to loop through the whole dataset.
hh_id person_id hh_3
4003 01 0
4003 02 1
4003 03 0
4004 01 0
4004 02 1
4004 03 1
Thank you for your help.
Robin
