Dear Statalisters,
I have the following dummies
gen dummy1 = 1 if nearesthospital ==1
gen dummy2 = 1 if nearesthospital ==2
gen dummy3 = 1 if nearesthospital ==3
gen dummy4 = 1 if nearesthospital ==4
gen dummy5 = 1 if nearesthospital ==5
Etc. etc.
The number of dummies that have to be generated are up to 40 or more. I
was thus thinking of creating a local macro for generating the dummies
and avoiding typing the commands every single time. I read the macro
section on the Stata User's Guide, but unfortunately cannot see how to
apply the explanations to the above-mentioned case. Any idea?
Thank you very much,
Ilaria
