Subject: st: new variable based on row numbers

Hello all,
I am having trouble figuring out how to create a new variable based on
the row numbers of my data. I just want to create a sequentially
numbered variable (x, x+1, x+2 ect...) to uniquely identify each row of
my data.

There is probably a real quick and simple solution to this, I just
haven't yet found it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Eleanor Friedman
