Like Kit says, you may be able to get by using frequency weights.
Alternatively, something like

expand N1

would duplicate observations for you.  It sounds like what you really most
want is to reshape the data though?  So that each observation would be
something like T N X?  i.e. you would have 3 observations for each current
observation?  See the -reshape- command.
