Nick your code is almost right. Only it gives a 1 for these cases while it should not:
date gvkey viol myindicator
2000q3 1045 0 0
2000q4 1045 0 0
2001q1 1045 0 0
2001q2 1045 0 0
2001q3 1045 1 1
2001q4 1045 1 0
2002q1 1045 0 0
2002q2 1045 0 0
2002q3 1045 0 0
2002q4 1045 1 1
2003q1 1045 1 0
2003q2 1045 0 0
You see, because viol is 1 again after the new viol reported a 1. So it is wrong because there are only 3 quarters of 0 in the viol dummy.
Abrihmanyu, in your code it gives to few 1's But if it reports a 1 it is right. I do not see the error in the code...
