st: Fwd: Constructing Household IDs

Hello Statalists,
I am working with an household survey which doesn't have household IDs.
Each household is identified by a series of variables (State, district,
township, ..., household number).
Within each state, the numbering of districts always starts from the
integer 1, the same for towns within each district and so on up to the
household in each ward.
I tried to build unique HH identifier with the command "group", but I'd
like to build a HH ID which looks like SSSDDDTTT...HHH
where SSS is the state identifier (with the correct number of zeros
appended when necessary (i don't know how to do it)), DDD is the
District identifier and so on. I'm using STATA 12 for windows 7. I'm
sure it will be an easy task for an expert statalist, but I am still a
beginner.
Thanks
Andrea
