You could also forget about converting and just create a new dummy in a
straightforward way:
*************
clear*
input str1 gender
m
f
f
m
f
m
m
f
m
end
compress
list, noobs
gen male=gender=="m"
ta male
l
*************

Betreff: st: help with encode
How can I efficiently convert string variables (such as gender with
values 'f' 'm') into binary 0/1 variables?
Can I fiddle with encode so that it codes 0/1 instead of 1/2?
Many thanks
