Dear Jon,
please take a look at what follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
g Indicator=1 if year_1==1 & year_2==1 & year_3==1 & year_4==1 |
year_4==0 & year_5==0
replace Indicator=2 if Indicator==.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
HTH and Kind Regards,
Carlo

Dear List,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this b/c I'm
totally stumped. I have a wide data set and am trying
to identify observations that have a series of
consecutive zeros following any positive number.
For example, say I have 5 years of data and the
following information for 5 observations:
ObsA 1 1 1 1 0
ObsB 1 1 1 0 0
ObsC 1 1 0 0 1
ObsD 1 0 1 1 1
ObsE 0 0 0 0 1
The variable names are something like yr1, yr2, yr3,
yr4, yr5. I would like to create a variable that
differentiates ObsA and ObsB from the other three.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
jon
