Numeric lists are valid on the left side of an instruction.
recode foo (0 9=.)
In the context of -recode-, numeric ranges are inclusive and capture non-integers.
recode foo (1/2=0) (3/5=1), generate(baz)
The min and max keywords dynamically capture the lowest and highest non-missing values.
The following keywords can be used to capture values that fall through preceding rules:
nonmissing
missing
else
If creating a new variable, the missing value is set for all rows that were filtered out of -recode- (by either if or in). To instead copy the source variable's value for these rows, use the copyrest option.
