Hi,
maybe this works for you
gen int newvar = 0
local row = 0
forval i = 1(5)305 {
local row = `row' + 1
replace newvar = `i' in `row'
}
Best
Oliver

Dear Statalisters, I'm workin with Stata 11.2 on Windows and have the following problem: I has a variable which takes on values from 1 to 301 and I want to generate a new variable which should take on the following values 1,6,11,...,305 (1(5)305). So if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful. Cheers
