. Maybe the codebook you were given was annotated using something other than Stata? What you're seeing doesn't seem to be possible with the built-in _codebook_ command. It's possible that it was done with something user-written. But it's also possible that someone took the codebook output from Stata and added the descriptions in some other way. Probably the fastest way to figure out how it was accomplished would be to ask the person who generated the codebook. -Sarah -----Original Message----- From: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] On Behalf Of Daniel Marcelino Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 7:43 AM To: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu Subject: st: codebook Dear all, I got a codebook that vars are presented in the following example. My doubt is how can I do Stata shows The capitals letters line after second dashed line. It is stupid think but is intriguing me since the morning, because that explain line is not label var attribute, nor a note var. So, how can I input this things in a data var? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- twomand (unlabeled) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- DUMMY VARIABLE FOR FEDERAL DEPUTIES THAT APPEAR TWICE IN THE DATASET. type: numeric (float) range: [0,1] units: 1 unique values: 2 missing .: 0/1228 tabulation: Freq.
