Also, Ken Higbee had a Stata tip on using value labels in expressions:
You could use
replace quality =1 if b8=="NO":labelname
See the benefits of reading 33 Stata tips???
(I got lucky on that one - until someone points out my errors in the above!)

Well, if it is a -double- then you cannot match it with a string in the -if-
qualifier. I bet it is -label-led, so look for the underlying numeric code
for "no" via -ta b8, nolabel- and say
replace quality = 1 if b8==0
(if 0 is labelled "no")
