-encode- gives you the numeric values with value labels attached. If

 - I have Stata IC 10
 - I converted string variable in numeric variable by using -encode-
I did this:

encode country, generate(countryid)
I got:

countryid
Ghana
Togo
Nigeria
Benin
Norway
France
etc..

What I want to have is the numerical value that correspond to the countryid
i.e.
countryid
1
2
3
4
5
6
etc
