Duplicate columns with Stata 13

[Luisa Márquez]

Hello all,

I am using Stata 13 version.

In my database, I have a column with data related to individuals’ age. I would like to duplicate this column in order to have two equal columns with the same data. How could I do it?

Thank you so much in advance.

Best wishes,
Luisa

generate age2=age

Also consider clonevar age2 = age. Look at the help files to learn about the differences between Svend's and my suggestions, and discover if relevant in your case.

Ok, I will do it.

Thank you so much!

Also, there is no jargon like Stata's jargon. Stata has variables, not columns. Spreadsheets do and buildings may have columns.
