Thanks to Kit Baum, and as promised, a simple transpose
utility -sxpose- is now available on SSC.
John Wallace posted a problem of transposing
a string variable dataset. -xpose- refuses
to do this.
-sxpose- (the "s" stands for simple as well
as string) transposes a dataset of string variables,
so that observations become variables, and vice
versa. It is a rough and ready utility: use circumspectly.
The version on SSC adds not only a help file but also
some extra handles, such as a -force- option
to carry numeric variables along as well,
and various safety features.
Stata 8 is required.
