st: creating a panel id variable from strings and decimals

Dear Stata Users,
1. How can I convert city names (strings) to city ids so that I can
use it as a panel id variable?
2. What if there are numerical codes with decimals that correspond to
each city rather than names. How can I achieve the same task above so
that I can create a panel id variable?
In the first case
City
AGB
DFT
EFH
AGB
EFH
...
In the second case
City
4.678
3.456
0.356
4.678
0.356
Thanks in advance for any help.
