st: Grouping income variables- RECODE COMMAND

Dear Stata users,
I have to group the income variable in different intervals. In the original
dataset, the household income variable is grouped
İnto 12 categories
J <40
R [40,70]
C [70, 120]
M [120, 230]
F [230, 350]
S
K
P
D
H
U [1730, 2310)
N > 2310
I want to group J and R categories <70 Euros, and create dummy variables for
all income groups. That is the Stata ouput. I used the recode command
But it does not work
gen hinc_gr=recode(hinctnt, 70, 120, 230, 350, 460, 580, 690, 1150, 1730,
2310)
(13282 missing values generated)
. tab hinc_gr
hinc_gr | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
70 | 29,718 100.00 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 29,718 100.00
Regards
Antonio
