Hello--
I would like to create a unique identifier from a few variables. The
variables are the following format: int, str80, str20, str34. Is there
any way to create a single variable combining these variables? I will be
turning the last 3 into int and would ideally like the unique identifier
to contain all 4 variables. For example, if for one observation the
individual variables are 01, 02, 03 and 04, I would like the unique
identifier to be 01020304. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you!
