st: RE: Can you get sign of value only?
Maybe I'm not understanding, but couldn't you just do this?
gen z = x
replace z = x*(-1) if y<0

Subject: st: Can you get sign of value only?
Hi there,
Is it possible to get the sign of a value? I.e., I would like to
multiply the var x by either -1 or +1 depending on the sign of var y.
Can I do this? Danielle H Ferry
