Re: st: Creating dummy variables

Hi Jim,
Yes I did look that up. But the issue is I have about 30 Groups in my
dataset (under the group var) and using the xi or the tab group,
gen(dummy) command will create dummies for all the variables. I wanted
to check if I could just create dummies for the variables which form
part of the output from the conditional tabulate statement.
Thanks
Anup
