Hello,
I am using pooled data from selected samples of DHS data. Each sample(country) has a set of unique regions - sometimes ranging from 2 to 10. Given that these regions are different from country to country, I want to create a single variable that harmonizes all the region codes across the sample pool.
Below is the dofile I am using to generate the harmonized regionID.
When I run it, I get the following error:
Thanks for your attention - CY
Below is Sample of my data from dataex - note the number of regions in the extract is limited to 5, though it is more in the full dataset.

Below is the dofile I am using to generate the harmonized regionID.
Code:
set more off
* Create variable ct that is a string of the country value (e.g., Nigeria, Senegal)
decode(country), gen(ct)
levelsof ct, local(ctstring)
* Create a temporary variable that combines all the country-specific region codes.
egen region_temp = rowmax(geo_*)
* Use the temporary variable you created above, plus the country variable, to
* create a unique number for each region in your pooled dataset.
gen subnational = country*100 + region_temp
* The next command creates string variables for each geographic code.
* Find the geo_ variables in your variable list. Substitute your first and last
* geo variables for geoalt_ke2014 and geo_ug2016, respectively:
foreach var of varlist geo_ao2015_2015 - geo_ls2004_2014 {
decode `var', gen(`var'str)
}
* The following code create idregion, a single variable with values for every sample.
egen region_label_t_gen = concat(geo*str)
gen region_label_gen = ct + " " + substr(region_label_t_gen,1,100)
egen idregion = group(region_label_gen)
* This look attaches the proper region labels to regionid.
sort subnational
lab def subnational_gen 1 "temp", replace
levelsof(idregion), local(levels)
foreach 1 of local levels {
gen temp = ""
replace temp = region_label_gen if idregion *== `1'
levelsof(temp), local(templabel)
lab def reg_label_gen `1' `templabel', modify
drop temp
}
label values idregion reg_label_gen
label variable idregion "Subnational regions"
* Get rid of the temporary variables
drop subnational geo*str region_temp region_label_t_gen region_label_gen
fre idregion
When I run it, I get the following error:
Code:
. foreach 1 of local levels {
2. gen temp = ""
3. replace temp = region_label_gen if idregion *== `1'
4. levelsof(temp), local(templabel)
5. lab def reg_label_gen `1' `templabel', modify
6. drop temp
7. }
