For Richard:
SS2=1: if SS1=1 and that member have children (children are identified
like rel=3) or partner (civil=1). This value will represent those with
social security and with dependants.
SS2=2: if rel=3 and SS1=1 and age>=10. This value will represent people
greater or equal to 10 years who adquire social security by their own (not
for their fathers). They are insured with no dependants.
Thanks!

Asunto: Re: st: Construct a new variable
I think you need to do a little more with the
definitions; it appears that any case with SS1=1
and rel=3 and age>=10 qualifies for both SS2=1 AND
SS2=2 -- which do you want it to be?
