Yes. You _can_ omit == 1 in this circumstance, but you need not do so if
you do not want to.

Thank you again for the advice!
Sorry I am a bit confused where can I omit "==1"? The only place where I
see "==1" is in these lines:
replace mindesinc=7000 if desired_income_above_7000==1
Would it work if I write:
replace mindesinc=7000 if desired_income_above_7000
Or did you mean I should omit the "==1" bit when writing to the list?
