Command for identifying age range

[Helen Kidane]

Hello,

I am looking to identify those who fall between an age range and am having some difficulty with my command. I want to generate a mark for those who fall between ages 5-14. I tried the following to no avail.

gen mark5to14 = 1 if Age == 5/14

What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

well, 5/14 is less than one; try this instead:

gen mark5to14 = inrange(age,5,14)
