Not sure what "for each.." is supposed to mean. If you want agreement in
terms of the values of one of them,
*********
clear*
set obs 10000
g a =runiform()<0.7
g b =runiform()<0.7
g dummy=a==b
*see examples
l in 1/100
*********
If you want to turn one variable into two along the lines of group
membership, - separate- might be handy...

Subject: st: finding duplicates in two groups
Dear Statalist members,
I have a dataset containing survival data, in which exposure groups
are A and B.
I wish to find records in group A that share the same values in group
B, for each of several fields:
age
date of diagnosis
date of death
I have studied the commands dups and duplicates but don't see how
they can handle finding values from two different groups sharing the
same values. I'd appreciate any suggestions or pointers.
