Hi,
Thanks, but this is not quite there. A1 and A2 are numeric variables
while brand just identifies the rows. A1 and A2 actually come from an MDS.
Thanks,
Walt

Use -tostring- to combine the numeric vars, ex:
*****
clear
inp A1 A2
1 2
2 3
3 4
5 6
end
tostring A1 A2, replace
gen brand = A1 + A2

Hi,
I have two numeric variables in a Stata dataset: A1 and A2. Each has 26 elements. I want to create a third variable, brand, as part of a do program that has 26 brand names. I tried
gen str brand = "A" "B" and so on to "Z"
but that didn't work. How can I create a brand variable?
Thanks,
Walt
