Generating conditional variable

u

[Øyvind Snilsberg]

generate A = B==1 & C==1 & D>7 & D<17

[Carlo Lazzaro]

Femi:
you may be interested in something along the following lines:

. set obs 100


. g double A=.


. g double B=.


. g double C=.


. g D=4+ _n

. foreach var of varlist A-C  {
  2. replace `var'=1 if D>7 & D<17
  3.   }


.

Great, thanks.

I do not know why my initial post shows just "U".

For the sake of those who might want to refer to the question and could find Øyvind and Carlo responses helpful, I will re-paste it below

"I want to generate a variable A=1 if variable B==1 and Variable C==1 when Variable D is greater than 7 but less than 17".
