st: generating indicators

Dear Stata list members- I have a dataset that includes a variable A
which is an identifier (nonconsecutive person id numbers) and a variable
B which is a list of medical (icd9) conditions (string). Each person
(identified by A) has as many records as reported conditions (conditions
could be reported more than once). I would appreciate suggestions on an
efficient way to generate conditions indicators (coded 0,1) that would
account for whether a specific individual reported a certain condition
or not.
Thanks,
Wassim
