Look at the help for tabulate (one way)
you will see that you can go
ta catvar, gen(dummy)
to get a set of dummies

Hello,
I am trying to create dummy variables from a categorical variable that
takes values from 1-9.Is there a quick and convenient way of doing this? My
current option, which involves doing a series of "generate dummyi=
(catvar==i)" seems tedious. Thanks.
