st: RES: RE: make use of values of some variables to identify another variable

["Maria Dolores Montoya Diaz" <madmdiaz@usp.br>]

Dear Nick, thank you very much!!! It�s not the most efficient solution but
it functions very well. Besides, I�ve introduced an if condition to
eliminate problems with missing values. So the final version: 

gen variable_new = . 
qui forval i = 1/`=_N' { 
	local var1 = var1[`i'] 
	local var2 = var2[`i'] 
	local var3 = var3[`i'] 
	local var4 = var4[`i'] 
	if mi(var1[`i'], var2[`i'] ,var3[`i'] , var4[`i'] )==0 {
replace variable_new = cod_`var1'`var2'`var3'`var4'* sqrt(var5) in `i'
}
}

Dolores.
