    {cmd:iscogen} is a tool to translate unit-group ISCO codes
    ({browse "http://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/stat/isco/":International Standard Classification of Occupations}). The
    following translations are currently supported (see {help iscogen##sources:Sources} below for details
    on the different translators):

{pstd}
    Variable {it:isco} specifies the input ISCO variable that is to be
    translated. It can be numeric or string. The default is to assume {it:isco}
    to contain 4-digit ISCO-08 codes; for ISCO-88 or ISCO-68 you must specify option
    {cmd:from(isco88)} or {cmd:from(isco68)}, respectively. In any case, {it:isco}
    is assumed to contain 4-digit codes. Decimal places will be ignored (that is,
    for example, 1000.5 will be treated as 1000).

{pstd}
    With some translators you may additionally specify variables {it:sempl} and
    {it:supvis}. {it:sempl}!=0 indicates that a respondent is self-employed;
    {it:supvis} indicates that a respondent has supervisory status and, possibly,
    specifies the number of subordinates or employees. In general, omitted or missing
    {it:sempl} will be treated as {it:sempl}=0 (unless noted otherwise), and omitted, missing, or negative
    {it:supvis} will be treated as {it:supvis}=0. Details
    are as follows:

{phang}
o {opt egp()} and {cmd:egp11()}
    {p_end}
{phang2}
    - {cmd:from(isco88)}: relevant distinctions for {it:supvis} are 0 vs. 1 vs. 2-9 vs. 10 or more
    {p_end}
{phang2}
    - {cmd:from(isco68)}: relevant distinctions for {it:supvis} are 0 vs. 1-9 vs. 10 or more
    {p_end}

{phang}
o {opt esec()}
    {p_end}
{phang2}
    - if {it:sempl}=0: the relevant distinction is {it:supvis}=0 (no supervisory status)
    vs. {it:supvis}>0 (supervisory status); supervisors are employees
    who have formal responsibility for supervising the work of other employees; if the data
    does not contain a direct measure of supervisory status, the
    {browse "https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/archives/esec/user-guide":ESEC User Guide}
    (section 4.7)
    suggests coding employees as supervisors if they are supervising at least three people.
    {p_end}
{phang2}
    - if {it:sempl}!=0: relevant distinctions for {it:supvis} are 0 vs. 1-9 vs. 10 or more
    (although note that the resulting ESEC classes will be the same for 0 and 1-9)
    {p_end}
{phang2}
    - {cmd:from(isco88)}: the "simplified" ESEC (see
    {browse "https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/archives/esec/user-guide":ESEC User Guide})
    will be applied if {it:sempl} is omitted or missing
    {p_end}

{marker lbl}{...}
{pstd}
    {cmd:iscolbl} creates value labels and, if {it:varlist} is provided,
    assigns them to the specified variables. {it:lbl} is one of the following
    (case-insensitive):

{p2colset 9 20 22 2}{...}

{marker options}{...}
{title:Options for iscogen}

{marker from}{...}
{phang}
    {opt from(from)} declares the type of input variable. {it:from}
    can be one of the following:

{p2colset 9 20 22 2}{...}
{p2col:{opt isco08}}4-digit ISCO-08 codes; the default{p_end}
{p2col:{opt isco88}}4-digit ISCO-88 codes{p_end}
{p2col:{opt isco68}}4-digit ISCO-68 codes{p_end}

{phang}
    {opt replace} allows overwriting an existing variable.

{phang}
    {opt emissing} requests that extended missing values ({cmd:.a}, {cmd:.b},
    ...) be carried forward to the generated variable (including their labels,
    unless {cmd:nolabel} is specified). The default is to use
    system missing ({cmd:.}) for these observations. {cmd:emissing} has no
    effect if {it:isco} is a string variable or if {cmd:string} has been
    specified. In any case, extended missing values will only be carried forward
    within the sample satisfying the {it:if} and {it:in} qualifiers.

{phang}
    {opt string} enforces string format for the generated variable. The default
    is to use a numeric format.

{phang}
    {opt nolabel} suppresses creating value labels for the generated
    variable. By default, unless {cmd:string} is specified, the generated codes
    will be labelled (if labels are available).

{phang}
    {opt invalid} requests that a list of invalid codes (i.e. codes
    that could not be translated) is returned in {cmd:r(invalid)}.


{title:Options for iscolbl}

{marker name}{...}
{phang}
    {opt name(name)} provides a name to be used for the value labels. The
    default is to use the name(s) of the variable(s). If {cmd:name()} is
    specified, only one label set is added to the data; by default, each
    variable receives its own set. If  {it:varlist} is
    omitted, {it:lbl} is used as label name.

{phang}
    {opt minimal} requests that only values be labeled that exist in the
    data. The default is to include all defined labels. {cmd:minimal} is only
    allowed if {it:varlist} is specified.

{phang}
    {opt modify} causes existing labels to be modified instead of replaced.

{phang}
    {opt major}, {opt submajor}, and {opt minor} can be used with ISCO-08 and
    ISCO-88 to request labels for major groups (1-digit),
    submajor groups (2-digit), or minor groups (3-digit) instead
    of the default unit groups (4-digit). Only one of {opt major},
    {opt submajor}, and {opt minor} is allowed.

    at the level of minor groups (3 digit) (i.e. all unit groups within a minor group
    map into the same class). ISCO minor groups 960, 961, and 962 are missing in the ESEC
    list provided in {bf:esec_08_3_digit_public.xlsx}; {cmd:iscogen} applies the same ESEC classes as

    the {browse "http://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/stat/isco/isco88/major.htm":ISCO-88}
    codes provided by the ILO. The
    {browse "http://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/ier/research/classification/isco88":ISCO-88(COM)}
    is the European Union variant of the ISCO-88. A number
    of ISCO-88 codes do not exist in the ISCO-88(COM)
    (0110, 1120, 1130, 2132, 3240, 3241, 3242, 3439, 5150, 5151, 5152, 5230,

    9322, 9331, 9332, 9333) or have a different meaning (6112). These codes are remapped
    as suggested by Geis (2011). Note that the ISCO-88(COM) also has three additional
    codes (2470, 7139, 8287); these codes have no counterpart in the ISCO-88 and, hence,
    will be left empty by the translator. Furthermore, a number of
    ISCO-88(COM) labels are somewhat different from the ISCO-88 labels; the translator will
    assign the ISCO-88(COM) labels in these cases.

    set of ISCO-68 codes found in {cmd:iscolab.sps} (plus code 3991 found in
    {cmd:isco6888.sps}). Furthermore, ISEI values as printed in Ganzeboom et al. (1992)
    are used in case of conflict due to repeated mappings in the source (affected
    ISCO codes are: 2033, 2035, 9830, 9831, 9832, 9839); this is consistent with

    The main difference between {cmd:egp()} and {cmd:egp11()} is that
    {cmd:egp11()} distinguishes between classes IIIa and IIIb whereas
    {cmd:egp()} makes no such distinction; also note that different numeric codes
    are used for classes IVa and IVb.
