BTW, my solution is a bit more complicated than initially imagined
(http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2002-08/msg00178.html):

*************
clear*
set seed 123456
set obs 1000
gen weight=rnormal(165,6)
su weight, mean
egen float mygroups = cut(weight), at(`=r(min)-0.01' 150(10)180 `r(max)')
icodes
la def mylab 0 "<150" 1 "150-160" 2 "160-170" 3 "170-180" 4 ">180"
la val mygroups mylab
table mygroups, contents(freq min weight max weight) mis
*************

Betreff: st: Categorize variable

I have a continuous variabile called weight. How can I categorize this 
variable into groups: <=150lb (150-160], (150-160], (170-180] and >180?
thank you
