if else command

[Travis Chang]

Hello everyone:


I use the LAWSCH85 data , and I want to generate a variable of r61_100 (school rank 61 to 100) else r61_100 appears with a value of "0" instead of "."

What should I do?

 gen r61_100 = rank if rank>=61 & rank<=100  else r61_100 ==0

You could try something like the following.

generate double r61_100 = rank * inrange(rank, 61, 100) // if !missing(rank)
