The {cmd:isko} package consists of a series of programs to recode ISCO-88
{it:(International Classification of Occupations)} codes into other
occupational scales. Use the {help isco} package to recode ISCO-68
occupational codes.
These programs are Stata versions of the SPSS recode
files by Harry B.G. Ganzeboom and Donald J. Treiman, which are available at
{browse "http://www.fss.uu.nl/soc/hg/ismf":http://www.fss.uu.nl/soc/hg/ismf}.

the recoded occupational scale is to be placed. The {cmd:isko} option is used
