| Subject | st: how recode a positive value on a variable to a particular negative value |
| Date | Fri, 28 Sep 2012 15:26:17 +0000 |
Dear Statalist. I am trying to recode positive values on a specific variable into particular negative values. e.g: recode year (1990 = -156) (1991= -144) and so on. However, recode does not allow a negative value it seems. Any input on this problem would be very appreciated.
