Can you show us an example of how the results were wrong? Here
is a simple example I ran that worked just fine.
. set obs 10
obs was 0, now 10
. gen a = _n
. gen b = _n+2
. gen c = _n+4
. egen z = eqany(a b c) , values(1 4 9 12)
. list
a b c z
1. 1 3 5 1
2. 2 4 6 1
3. 3 5 7 0
4. 4 6 8 1
5. 5 7 9 1
6. 6 8 10 0
7. 7 9 11 1
8. 8 10 12 1
9. 9 11 13 1
10. 10 12 14 1
