Hi all,

A simple question! I have two variables id and x1. I just want to flag all "Id" records -2 if any of the records x1 within id is less than 0 otherwise flag=2.

A sample data,

id x1 12 2 12 3 12 -1 13 5 13 6 13 6 14 4 14 -3 14 3

The desired output should be the following,

id x1 flag 12 2 -2 12 3 -2 12 -1 -2 13 5 2 13 6 2 13 6 2 14 4 -2 14 -3 -2 14 3 -2

Asheber
