You are not getting what you want in the case of exact matches with
boundaries.
It's not elegant, but fudging boundary cases upwards would seem to solve
your problem.
clonevar myvar2 = myvar
replace myvar2 = myvar2 + 0.5 if inlist(myvar2, 30, 40, 45, 50, 100)
Note that
1. I recommend working on a cloned version of your data _only_.
2. This will work well in your example as your boundaries are integers
and no precision issues arise with testing for equality. It wouldn't
work so easily with fractions.

Subject: Re: st: Classes in spmap
Thank you for your reply,
I assume you mean the other way around, i.e. to set the clbreak
slightly smaller.
Yes, that was my solution as well. But it seems a bit unpractical
since I have to check the observations in order to know how much
smaller I should set the breaks. It works, but I just wanted to know
if there was an option I could use to handle this.
All the best,
Richard
