The help and manual entry for -recode- explain this;
but I doubt that's your question. In effect, -recode-
has its own syntax in this respect.
I think the Stata world divides into two on this:
those who use -recode- frequently and have
internalised this, and those who blench
if and when they first see its syntax.
