Re: st: (no subject)
Thank you Michael, no, I entered the variable values directly in STATA -
please see my other response for a proper rephrasing of the question.

I'm guessing that you are trying to read data from a spreadsheet
(using -insheet-) and that Stata is not treating the data exactly as
you'd like. For example, you have a numeric dummy variable (1/0) and
it's being read by Stata as a string variable, perhaps because missing
values are indicated with some sort of non-numeric character. If you
could be more specific, that would be helpful.

How do ensure Stata reads my variables that I want to be categorical
