Thanks Sabrina, but unfortunately the problem persists.
If I understood correctly what you meant, I used the following:
mata
a=J(1000,1,1)
for(i=1,i<1001,i++) {
a[i]=2 if b[i]==1
a[i]=3 if b[i]!=1
}
a
end
Regards
Abhimanyu

I am not sure, but I guess you'd better use the "if qualifier" instead
of the "if-else" command.
