For each of the datasets individually (before you pool them), just use something like:

gen year=1996

Alternatively after pooling you can use:

gen year = 0
replace year = 1996 if v007 = 96
replace year = 2004 if v007 = 2004 | v007 = 2005
replace year = 2010 if v007 = 2009 | v007 = 2010

and then check if any are not set by doing

tab v007 year
