AW: st: a specific data management question

I think this code comes closer to Grace`s wishes, as the maximum was not
really requested, but a count:

*************
clear
input firm   tag
        1     0
        1     0
        1     1
        1     1
        1     3
        2     0
        2     1
        2     2
        2     3
        3     0
        3     0
end

egen tag1 = total(tag==1), by(firm)

l, sepby(firm) noo
*************


As always, http://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.html?articlenum=pr0004 is the
best source...

How about this...

clear
input firm   tag
        1     0
        1     0
        1     1
        1     1
        1     3
        2     0
        2     1
        2     2
        2     3
        3     0
        3     0
end
egen tag1 = max(tag==1), by(firm)

However, note that this gives a value of 0 if all values of tag are . for a
given firm.

Hope this helps,
