Hello there,
I just started working with Stata (Version 11.0).
The search in the FAQ and on other pages showed no results so I am trying it here.
I have a variable lit (float %21.0g) with the values "Yes, literate" and "No, illiterate".
My aim is to create a literacy dummy to work with these information in a regression.
My commands are:
gen lit_dummy=0
. replace lit_dummy=1 if lit=="Yes, literate"
type mismatch
r(109);
I searched for r(109) but could not figure out so far how tp solve the problem. It would be great if you could help me.
Kind Regards,
CaptainMcRocket
