The '''`recode`''' command replaces values of a variable.

== Usage ==

{{{
recode foo (0=.)
recode foo (0=.), generate(bar)
recode foo (0=.) if foo!=., generate(bar)
recode foo (0=.) in 1/10, generate(bar)
}}}

Numeric lists are valid on the left side of an instruction.

{{{
recode foo (0 9=.)
}}}

In the context of the `recode` command, 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 the `recode` command (by either `if` or `in`). To instead copy the source variable's value for these rows, use the '''`copyrest`''' option.
