Hi, I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this issue.
I have a single numeric variable that identifies the city/county/state for
each case, where the first three digits represent the city, the next two
the county, and the final two represent the state.
Examples:
223406
1453209
2785845
etc...
I'm only interested in identifying cases by state at the moment. How do I
go about singling out this part of the data, or creating a new identifying
state variable?
Thanks for any help.
Wade
