Dear all:

I want to create agebins in months but I find myself writing several
lines of codes for this task. Given the age range I have my current
method will take a long time to get all the codes in.


Is there anyway I can expeditiously do this? like with an array or
something?



Thanks,

Yaw

Here's what I have been doing tirelessly:

if agemos le 1.500 then agecat=0;

else if agemos gt 1.500 and agemos lt 4.500 then agecat=3;
