Subject: st: foreach
I have data that is coded as "si" or "no". I need to change this to numeric variables. I tried the following but keep getting an error message that says, "varlist not found". Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Here is the code:
foreach x in varlist p03a01 p03a01a-p03a01m {
gen y = (`x' == "si")
replace y = 0 if (`x' =="no")
drop `x'
rename y `x'
}
Thank you in advance,
Marilyn.
