Thanx all, I found my answer. I prefer Peter's second solution.

I have a vaiable named NAM having value : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.  I
want
to make an indicator variable that will take value 1 if NAM=7 or
NAM=8 or NAM=9. How can I do that?
I usually do: Var001<- ifelse(NAM==7,1,0) for the simplest case.

How about

Var001<- ifelse(NAM>=7 &  NAM<=9,1,0)
