st: Recode Issue: Getting new variable after recoding

Dear All,
I used command
tab prime, gen(flood)
this command created 10 separate variables (flood1.....flood10)
I reclubbed them selectively taking only 6 variables
egen newvar=group(flood1 flood2 flood3 flood4 flood5 flood6), label
The problem is that newvar becomes representative of 7 variables.
Could anyone explain me how come this seventh variable is getting
clubbed/recoded under newvar.
Thank you for your time and attention. Your help will be highly appreicated.
With regards
Malay
