Creating a variable dependent on two other variables

[Ben Torine]

Hi,

I am trying to create a variable that is dependent on two other variables and do not know how to approach it.

Below is the question I am prompted with:

Create a variable that indicates whether the householder and the non-householder share the
same education category.

the variables used for this will be educ1 educ0 rel_var

Thank you!

g educ_same = educ1 == educ0

Thank you George! Life saver, I also realized that I appended data instead of merging and your code did exactly what I needed.
