I have the code below to generate the variable balticf based on the value of yr. However, it seems the code here is too long, could you please help me to shorten it?
I was thinking of the cond() function but it seems to be more complicated and the code should be still a lot of lines if we want to keep each line short

Code:
generate balticf=. replace balticf=699 if yr==1987 replace balticf=1264 if yr==1988 replace balticf=1543 if yr==1989 replace balticf=1592 if yr==1990 replace balticf=1446 if yr==1991 replace balticf=1494 if yr==1992 replace balticf=1373 if yr==1993 replace balticf=1215 if yr==1994 replace balticf=1965 if yr==1995 replace balticf=1604 if yr==1996 replace balticf=1516 if yr==1997 replace balticf=1231 if yr==1998 replace balticf=794 if yr==1999 replace balticf=1319 if yr==2000 replace balticf=1599 if yr==2001 replace balticf=876 if yr==2002 replace balticf=1738 if yr==2003 replace balticf=4765 if yr==2004 replace balticf=4598 if yr==2005 replace balticf=2407 if yr==2006 replace balticf=4397 if yr==2007 replace balticf=9143 if yr==2008 replace balticf=774 if yr==2009 replace balticf=3005 if yr==2010 replace balticf=1773 if yr==2011 replace balticf=1738 if yr==2012 replace balticf=699 if yr==2013 replace balticf=2277 if yr==2014 replace balticf=782 if yr==2015 replace balticf=478 if yr==2016 replace balticf=961 if yr==2017 replace balticf=1366 if yr==2018 replace balticf=1271 if yr==2019 replace balticf=1090 if yr==2020 replace balticf=1366 if yr==2021 replace balticf=2217 if yr==2022
