Subject:      creating a new variable from a series of variables
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi everyone,

I have a dataset that looks like this:

region  cceduclhs  cceduchs  cceducsomecoll  cceduccollege
 1         8405  4239         5007                       4784
 2          2888       1640            2312                 1638

The above units except for the region variable are individuals. For example,
for cceduclhs in region 1, we have 8,405 individuals with less than a high
school diploma.

I want to recode the above variables, except region, into an ordinal that
hopefully will look like this:

cceduc
lhs=1
hs=2
some college=3
college=4

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I can definitely provide more
info if the above question doesn't make sense.

Regards,
Greg
