Abstract

genl and repl are enhancements of Stata's commands generate and replace, that save the definition of a variable as the characteristic Defntion associated with that variable. Thus, definitions of variables are saved along with your data! The definition comprises the defining expression, the case restrictions if and in, and the -by varlist- clause. redo redefines variable using saved definition. defntion lists the variable labels and definitions. An earlier version was published as dm43 in STB-35, and was reprinted in STB Reprints Vol 6, pages 18--20. For those with Stata v6 on an internet-accessible machine, install by typing .net cd http://www.fss.uu.nl/soc/iscore/stata/ then .net install genl
