Welcome to Statalist.
See the output of
for description of commands that analyze categorical dependent variables. You cannot change a variable with four categories to one with two categories without losing information. But if that is what you want to do, seeCode:help mlogit help ologit
You can find a good explanation, and more, in the notes for his course in categorical data analysis prepared by Richard Williams, a frequent contributor here, linked to from https://www3.nd.edu/~rwilliam/xsoc73994/index.html.Code:help recode
Let me note that you have accidentally posted your topic in Statalist's Mata Forum, which is used for discussions of Stata's Mata language, which is different than Stata's command language. Your future questions will see a more appropriate and much larger audience if you post them in Statalist's General Forum.

kindly make sure that you group the variables and apply recode module in stata
1.e
egen newvar=group(depvar)
then apply recode or you consider using todummy module in stata
