Hi. Try to do this :
gen type=0
forv i = 1(1)50 53(1)103 124(i)165 167 171 175(1)182 188(1)200 223(1)252 257 262(1)287 313(1)336 356(1)362{
replace type = 1 if hproblem == `i'
}
the first line allow u to gen the variable "type" assuming then that they are aull in group2 and then the rest allow u to extract those frome group1.
Regards. Foly

Dear All
There is a string variable ‘hproblem’ containing diseases classification, which has codes from 1- 436.
I want to generate a variable ‘type’ which is ‘hproblem’ classified into two; 1 for group1 and 0 for group2.
The following codes of the variable ‘hproblem’ required to be included in group1
1-50, 53-103, 124-165, 167, 171, 175 -182, 188-200, 223-252, 257, 262-287, 313-336, 356-362
AND ALL THE REST in group two.
Is there a simple way to generate variable ‘type’?
Kind Regards,
Moumin
