Generating a New Variable based on Conditional IF Statements
Generating a New Variable based on Conditional IF Statements

Hello STATA Experts: I am trying to create a new variable based on the existence of certain conditions in two existing variables (see code below). It appears to be dropping most of the cases for "Fathers". Not sure what is wrong here. Also, how is this treating missing variables?
Any help would be appreciated. Pat

generate parentfigure=.
replace parentfigure=0 if X1HPAR1==2 | X1HPAR2==2
replace parentfigure=1 if X1HPAR1==1
label define parentfigurelab 0 "Father" 1 "Mother"
label values parentfigure parentfigurelab
label variable parentfigure "Parent Figure"
