| Date | Fri, 16 Nov 2012 12:33:50 -0500 |
Hi all. This might be a very easy question, but if I have a number of things that have to hold when generating a variable, is there a way to simplify the following? generate variable if news== 1 | news == 3 | news ==5 to something like generate variable if news == 1 | 3 | 5? I tried this Thanks! * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/resources/statalist-faq/ * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
