Sorry, you said you wanted separate lb/ub for your newvars:
****
clear*
set obs 100
gen id=_n
//lower bound for var1
local a1 40
//upper bound for var1
local b1 100
//lower bound for var2
local a2 56
//upper bound for var2
local b2 76
//lower bound for var3
local a3 74
//upper bound for var3
local b3 88
//lower bound for var4
local a4 45
//upper bound for var4
local b4 67
forv i=1/4{
gen var`i'=`a`i''+int((`b`i''-`a`i''+1)*runiform())
}
gen var5cat=0
replace var5cat=1 in 51/100
list, noobs h(30)

Hi to all,
I would like to generate 4 variables that contain a set of integers in a
range from 40-100.
I would like to select the range per variable.
The total number of observations per variable would be 100.
Finally, I would like to create a categorical variable with 0 or 1.
The first 4 continuous variables, contain 50 values of category 0 and 50
of category 1:
id var1 var2 var3 var4 var5cat
1 45 43 44 46 0
2 43 42 48 49 0
.............................
50 56 48 54 53 0
51 45 43 44 46 0
52 43 42 48 49 0
.............................
100 50 48 54 53 0
Thank you very much.
