Subject: st: Creating a new numerical variable without mathematical
operations
Dear all,
I have two numerical variables, province and city: province has two
digits, city has at least 4.
eg. province= 11, city= 6227
I want to create a new numerical variable called 'newcity' which will
combine province and city like this:
116227
This is because I have to combine this data set with another, and the
unique identifying variable in the second data set has been
constructed in this way.
Can someone please tell me what command I may use?
Thanks so much,
Ramani
