That's it perfect. Thanks for your solution too David. -----Original Message----- From: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] On Behalf Of daniel klein Sent: Monday, June 04, 2012 12:32 PM To: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu Subject: Re: st: Tab gen names For an implemented solution see -dummieslab- from (SSC) or -todummy- (also from SSC). Best Daniel -- Hi all, Is there a way to name the variables created by tabulate generate() according to the tabulated variable's value labels. I want to create dummies for each category in the variable "tenure", which takes the values 1==Freehold 2==Leasehold 3==Mailo 4==Customary These show up as the newly created variables' labels, but I'd like them to be the variable names.
