Dear Statalists, I try to solve the following problem: - I know what to to in a simple case, e.g.: gen identical=. replace identical=1 if base1==variable1 | base1==variable2 | base1==variable3 - however, I would like to compare two lists of variables (base1-base20 and var1-var25) with the "or operator" (I try to describe it in "pseudo-code"): gen identical=. replace identical=1 if (base1-base20) == (var1-var25) - In this case the condition should be satisfied if any of the base and var combinations has identical values. Thank you! Kind regards Philipp * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/resources/statalist-faq/ * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
