| Subject | st: Mvdecode Problem |
| Date | Fri, 23 Aug 2013 15:27:34 +0100 (BST) |
Hi all, I want to code whatever negative or zero in the dataset to missing. If I use mvdecode _all, mv(0/-9) or mvdecode _all, mv(-9/0) Then I notice when I used mvdecode _all, mv(0/-9) , the -9 did not become missing. The second thing is that I want to recode whatever negative to missing. If I use mvdecode _all, mv(-1/-9) or mvdecode _all, mv(-9/-1) Would it make a difference whichever way I put the -1 or -9 first? * * 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/
