Dear all:

When I use the cond(x,a,b,c) function, I could not generate the value c when x is missing. For example:

sysuse auto, clear
tab rep78, mi
gen a=cond(rep78==1, 1, 0, .)
tab a, mi

It gives

a Freq. Percent Cum.

0 72 97.30 97.30
1 2 2.70 100.00

Total 74 100.00

There should be 5 missing values for variable a according to the manual. Thanks for your input.

James.
