Tessa,

I need to add sth!
/* generating a variable holding the date from the appointment with
   def_inrange==1. This won't work for groups where def_inrange takes
   a missing value.

   Added: an if-condition to make sure that the command does not produce
               wrong results for groups with all def_inranges==0!

 */
 bysort donor_id (def_inrange): gen test=date[_N] if def_inrange[_N]==1

 Sebastian
