Finding minimum value out of 5 different variables for each row

[Jasleen Kaur]

I would like to create a new variable that equals the minimum value out of 5 different variables for each row.

Example: For each "ID" would like to find the minimum value out of v1,v2,v3,v4,v5 and create a new variable "v6" using that value

ID v1 v2 v3 v4 v5
1 22 25 28 30 11
2 15 28 14 19 29

Update: Realized this works, sorry for the wasted post!

egen v6=rowmin( v1 v2 v3 V4 V5)
