Dear Alexandra,
the following example seems to work:
------------begin example---------------
set obs 10
g quality=0
g response="yes" in 1/5
replace response="no" in 6/10
replace quality = 1 if response=="no"
------------end example---------------
HTH and Kind Regards,
Carlo

Oggetto: st: Create dummy
Dear Statlist,
I need to create a dummy from a double variable (sí, no, no sabe)
I wrote:
gen quality = 0
replace quality = 1 if b8=="no"
And I received the message
type mismatch
r(109);
What should I do?
Thanks and regards,
Alejandra Molina
