I don't think your code came through to the list, and you are not very
specific about where you found the code, but this example works:
*-------------- begin example ----------------
sysuse auto, clear
recode rep78 1/3=0 4/5 = 1
logit rep78 price mpg foreign
tempvar temp
gen `temp' = foreign
replace foreign = 1
predict pr1, pr
replace foreign = 0
predict pr0, pr
replace foreign = `temp'
predict pr, pr
sum pr0 pr1 pr
*---------------- end example ----------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see:

Hope this helps,
Maarten
