I need help on how i can recode multiple observations to missing. In the data example below welfare is a clone of var5, but i only want observations with certain values to be cloned. Also, i want the values in welfare to be set to missing in var5.
I am aware of the recode var5 (1/2=.), generate(welfare) command, however, this command only seems to work with two values. Thus, i cannot write recode var5 (1/2/3=.) as stata tells me "unknown el / in rule r(198);". It also doesnt set the values in welfare to missing in var5.
Any help is much appreciated!
Code:
