How about something like this:
clear
input fid q11a q11b q11c
55 2 3 1
21 1 2 1
end
tempvar checkit
egen `checkit'=rowtotal(q11a q11b q11c)
generate byte flag=1 if `checkit' !=6
list if flag==1
Best,
Alan

A colleague is trying to accomplish something in a different stats package
and asked if STATA could effect the solution. "Of course", said I. Now I am
scratching my head for the code. Individuals were asked to rank-order 3
choices. Person 55 did fine, but not Person 21. How can I generate a flag
for such respondent-errors?

fid q11a q11b q11c

thanks in advance
