VREVERSE9: Stata module to reverse existing categorical variable

Nicholas Cox

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: vreverse generates a new variable as a reversed copy of an existing categorical variable with integer values. Suppose that in the observations specified values vary between minimum min and maximum max. Then values are mapped to min + max - value and value labels are mapped, or assigned, accordingly. The new variable will have the same storage type, display format, variable label and characteristics. It is the user's responsibility to consider whether the copied variable label and characteristics also apply. vreverse9 is a command that also covers any extended missing values by virtue of copying them and any value labels unchanged. The name flags that Stata 9 is required.
