Hi ,   I am facing the below problem while creating the dummy variable for the variable age_restriction   1- The variable is a character variable and contains 9 records (3,4,34,35,45,3U,4U and 5U).... 2-when i try to create the dummy variable it does not take the 3 as character variable and assumes it as numeric variable.   3- The code which i use for creating dummy variable is  below  if age_restriction='3' then Age_R1=1;  else Age_R1=0;   i always get the value of Age_R1  =0 even though if age_restriction contains 3 as its value .         can you please help me on this error  ...
