Try the -tab- command. Specifically, if I have variable Married, which
has several categories (say, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), I can type:
tab1 Married, generate(marx)
and that will produce 5 variables, marx1, marx2, marx3, and so on, with
marx1=1 for all cases where Married=1, and so on.
Hope this helps.
