Dear all,

Thanks for the previous help.
I have an income variable and I would like to create a set of dummies for
whether the income is between certain percentiles (i.e inc10 for income b/w
the 10th and 15th percentile and so on). I know that -centile- generates
requested centiles, but I'm not sure how to put the results of this command
into a list that can be used with the -egen cut- command.

Thanks in advance,

Radu Ban
