Hi,
I am trying to define a label for non-numeric values of a variable.
For example, I have a variable X with values 1, 2, 3a
I want to define a label for this variable
label define x1 1 "complete" 2 "incomplete" 3a "partial complete"
However, Stata gives an error of invalid sytax and will not assign label for 3a.
I also tried to recode the values for the variable:
recode X (3a=3)
but Stata gives an error message of unknown el 3a in rule
Would appreciate if anyone could help with this issue.
Thanks!
