Quick question on generate command: is there a way to generate newvar = 0, replace newvar=1 if othervar=1 OR diffvar=1
STATA doesn't like my "OR" syntax but I can't seem to figure out how to do this simple change with generate or egen. Thanks for the help!
the syntax for or is |
it can be found below the delete key on macs. I am not sure where it is on a PC keyboard but it is a straight line going down.
In addition, make sure you use the double = sign or ==
such as gen new var=1 if oldvar==1 | otheroldvar ==2
